In recent years, new electric skateboards have been developed. However, the standing vehicles are difficult to hold rider's balance in general. This paper discusses acceleration control of electric skateboards to ride it easy. As very few studies have been reported on human standing model on frontal plane, we built a model by impulse response test which moves support surface in the previous report. The purpose of this study is to reduce the sway of a passenger by applying feedforward control to the impulse response model. We define the subject as a damped 1 DOF system and adopted a method which minimizes oscillation around the equilibrium angle in constant acceleration period. The effectiveness of the present control method and the model was tested through rest-to-rest control tests. The results showed that the presented acceleration control method can decrease the range of human motion and reaction force from the support surface in comparison with constant acceleration control.
