Abstract:
1. A walking assistance moving vehicle comprising: a walking assistance moving vehicle main body with a pair of drive wheels, the walking assistance moving vehicle main body being configured to assist walking of a user; a drive wheel rotational speed sensor configured to sense drive wheel rotational speed of each of the drive wheels; a turning sensor configured to directly sense at least one of a first lateral acceleration and a first turning angular velocity during turning of the walking assistance moving vehicle main body; and a controller configured to indirectly acquire at least one of a second lateral acceleration and a second turning angular velocity of the walking assistance moving vehicle main body based on the drive wheel rotational speed sensed by the drive wheel rotational speed sensor, the controller being further configured to perform a first control to decelerate or stop drive of the drive wheels based on a comparison of the first turning angular velocity and the second turning angular velocity or a comparison of the first lateral acceleration and the second lateral acceleration.
