==LEANING VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18748061 titled 'LEANING VEHICLE

'''Simplified Explanation''': 

The patent application describes a leaning vehicle that can change its lean angle and steer angle when turning, controlled by a leaning actuator and a steering actuator, respectively. The control device ensures that the lateral acceleration changes at different rates depending on the vehicle's speed.

* The leaning vehicle has a leaning actuator that adjusts the lean angle during turns.
* A steering actuator changes the steered angle of the front wheels when the vehicle turns.
* The control device manages the leaning and steering actuators to ensure a balanced lateral acceleration change based on the vehicle's speed.

'''Key Features and Innovation''':

* Leaning actuator for adjusting lean angle during turns.
* Steering actuator for changing front wheel angles during turns.
* Control device to manage leaning and steering actuators for balanced lateral acceleration changes based on speed.

'''Potential Applications''':

The technology could be applied in:
* Electric scooters
* Motorcycles
* Three-wheeled vehicles

'''Problems Solved''':

* Improved stability during turns
* Enhanced maneuverability
* Better control at different speeds

'''Benefits''':

* Safer turning at various speeds
* Increased agility and responsiveness
* Enhanced overall driving experience

'''Commercial Applications''''':

The technology could be utilized in the development of:
* High-performance motorcycles
* Electric delivery vehicles
* Personal mobility devices

'''Prior Art''''':

Readers interested in prior art related to this technology could explore patents or research on leaning vehicles, vehicle stability systems, and steering control mechanisms.

'''Frequently Updated Research''''':

Researchers may find updated studies on vehicle dynamics, control systems, and safety features relevant to this technology.

'''Questions about Leaning Vehicles''':

1. How does the leaning actuator contribute to the vehicle's stability during turns?
2. What are the potential safety implications of implementing this technology in different types of vehicles?


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A leaning vehicle comprising: a leaning actuator that changes a lean angle of a vehicle body when the leaning vehicle turns; a steering actuator that changes a steered angle of two front wheels when the leaning vehicle turns; and a control device that controls the leaning actuator and the steering actuator. The control device controls the leaning actuator and the steering actuator such that, when five regions into which a speed region of the leaning vehicle up to a maximum speed is equally divided are defined, a rate of change in a lateral acceleration in an imbalanced turning state relative to a vehicle speed changes at lower rate in a highest speed region than in a lowest speed region.
