203 Development of gravity center position control system of parallel two-wheel vehicle with lower gravity center including passenger

Abstract

In this paper, structure design and modeling of novel seating-type two wheel vehicle with lower position of gravity center is proposed. The vehicle's gravity center is assigned at the lower position than that of the wheel axis, whose vehicle has the structure of the pendulum. Therefore, it enables the passenger to always keep the stable posture, even if the vehicle is in the power-off or control-off state. Then, the gravity center position's adjustment system is installed inside the vehicle body. Swing of the vehicle body generated by the bias of the passenger's gravity center position is controlled by the proposed seat positioning system. As a result, alignment of pitch angle of the vehicle body is possible by a seat positioning system that has been proposed.
