Abstract

See full text

An inverted pendulum type vehicle prevents a travel operation unit from running at a high velocity when not in contact with the ground. A ground contact point velocity detector integrates a ground contact point horizontal acceleration calculated by a ground contact point horizontal acceleration calculator so as to calculate the acceleration at the ground contact point of a wheel. A determiner calculates a ground contact point velocity. The determiner sets a velocity threshold value on the basis of the velocity difference between the ground contact point velocity and a first desired velocity. If the first desired velocity reaches the velocity threshold value or more, then the determiner decides that the wheel of a first travel operation unit is idling and restricts the setting of the first desired velocity by a first control processor to the velocity threshold value or less.
