AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing electric vehicles face challenges in accurately determining the operator's intent due to shifts in the zero point of grip sensors, leading to inaccurate control.

Method used

The electric vehicle is equipped with left and right wheels, operation units, detection units for force detection, and a drive control unit that performs assist and brake control based on the relative forces applied to these units, ensuring precise control by comparing the forces on both sides and adjusting operations accordingly.

Benefits of technology

This configuration allows for accurate and precise control of the electric vehicle, enabling reliable assist and brake functions based on the operator's intended direction and movement.

Abstract

This electric vehicle comprises: left and right wheels that are provided on both sides in at least the traveling direction of a vehicle body; drive units that respectively drive the left and right wheels; left and right operation units that are operated by a user; a detection unit that detects left and right operation forces that respectively correspond to the left and right operation units; and a drive control unit that performs assist control for controlling the drive units and assisting the operation on the basis of the left and right operation forces. When an operation force on one side among the left and right operation forces is detected, the drive control unit determines whether or not to start the assist control for the wheel on the one side on the basis of the operation force on the one side and the operation force on the other side.
