Abstract:
A moving apparatus provided with a driving force assist unit for additionally applying driving force to a drive wheel depending upon traveling information of the moving apparatus;the moving apparatus comprising:traveling information detecting means for detecting, in a non-contact manner, with respect to a rotating portion, the rotational speed of the rotating portion to detect the traveling information of the moving apparatus;driving force assist means for applying to the drive wheel a driving force corresponding to a change in speed information which is detected on the basis of traveling information detected by the traveling information detecting means;inclination detecting means for detecting inclination information of the moving apparatus;constant speed detecting means for determining a constant speed traveling driving force required for maintaining a constant traveling speed on the basis of speed information detected by the traveling information detecting means and inclination information detected by the inclination detecting means;acceleration detecting means for determining an acceleration driving force corresponding to the change in speed information which is detected on the basis of traveling information detected by the traveling information detecting means; andassistant driving force detecting means for determining an assistant driving force which is to be delivered by the driving force assist means on the basis of the constant speed traveling driving force determined by the constant speed detecting means and the acceleration driving force determined by the acceleration detecting means;an electric power source for supplying electric power to the driving force assist means.
