Patent ID: 11247723

Abstract:
A traveling vehicle includes a left drive wheel and a right drive wheel which are driven independently by a left driving section and a right driving section, a manual operation unit configured to provide a left speed instruction for adjusting a rotational speed of the left drive wheel and a right speed instruction for adjusting a rotational speed of the right drive wheel and a drive control unit configured to control driving of the left driving section and the right driving section based on the left speed instruction and the right speed instruction, with using a first control method and a second control method which are provided with different control properties from each other. The drive control unit includes a single mode employing either one of the first control method and the second control method and a composite mode employing the first control mode and the second control mode in time-differentiated combination. In the composite mode, based on a difference between the left speed instruction and the right speed instruction, a combination ratio between the first control method and the second control method is determined.
