Title:
ROLL ANGLE CONTROL DEVICE FOR REMOTE-CONTROLLED TWO-WHEELED VEHICLE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2004/054678
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A roll angle control device (21) for a remote-controlled two-wheeled vehicle is provided so as to facilitate the control of the vehicle by an operator and stabilize vehicle posture in a wide speed range. The roll angle control device (21) comprises roll angle detection means (35) for detecting a roll angle of a vehicle main body, a steering actuator (13) for applying rotation torque in left/right directions to a steering shaft or a front fork, control means (29) that outputs an operation amount for the steering actuator based on a roll angle detection value and a roll angle target value from a remote control receiver and controls so as to bring the roll angle detection value closer to the roll angle target value, and steering angle detection means (50)for detecting to which side at least of a neutral point a steered angle belongs. Caster effect control means (51) is formed such that the control means (29) controls so that a signal is applied to an operation amount for the steering actuator as follows: when a steered angle detected by the steering angle detection means is in the right direction, rotation torque in the right direction is applied, and, when a steered angle detected by the steering angle detection means is in the left direction, rotation torque in the left direction is applied
