TRANSPORTATION VEHICLE AND METHOD

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle for transporting an individual on the ground having irregular surface in a preferred embodiment. SOLUTION: This embodiment has a supporter for supporting humans. A module, in contact with the ground mounted capably with motion in this supporter, is operated in a manner of supporting the human in the supporter on the surface. A longitudinal and a cross-wise directional plane with the orientation of the ground contact module mutually alternately crossing in the vertical position are demarcated. The supporter and the ground contact module are component members of the assembly. A motor-provided drive unit, mounted on this assembly and connected to the ground contact module, forms the assembly, and the human on it is made to move on the surface. Lastly, this embodiment has a control loop, to include the motor-provided drive unit in this control loop, this control loop dynamically enhances the stability in the longitudinal and cross-wise directional plane by the operation of the motor-provided drive unit related to the ground contact module.
