RIDING TYPE VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A riding type vehicle havinga driving source,a left wheel and a right wheel,a transmission configured to receive power from the driving source to independently operate and drive the left wheel and the right wheel with regard to a rotation direction and a rotation speed, andcaster wheels separately provided in a front-rear direction with respect to the left wheel and the right wheel, the riding type vehicle comprising:
- two first sensors arranged on both left and right sides more to a front side than a rear end of the vehicle, the two first sensors configured to detect an obstacle target located on a rear side, the obstacle target being a target becoming an obstacle at the time of reversing or turning.

7. A riding type vehicle having
a driving source, a left wheel and a right wheel, a transmission configured to receive power from the driving source to independently operate and drive the left wheel and the right wheel with regard to a rotation direction and a rotation speed, and caster wheels separately provided in a front-rear direction with respect to the left wheel and the right wheel, wherein the riding type vehicle is capable of a rapid turn where only one of the left wheel and the right wheel rotates around a turn center position, or the left wheel and the right wheel rotate in opposite directions, the riding type vehicle comprising: -
a sensor, arranged on the vehicle, capable of detecting an obstacle target on a rear side, the obstacle target being a target becoming an obstacle at the time of reversing or turning; and a control device for causing a rapid turn to the rear to stop, or causing a stop of a rapid turn to be maintained, at the time when the obstacle target has been detected by the sensor. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A riding type vehicle having
a driving source, a left wheel and a right wheel, a transmission configured to receive power from the driving source to independently operate and drive the left wheel and the right wheel with regard to a rotation direction and a rotation speed, and caster wheels separately provided in a front-rear direction with respect to the left wheel and the right wheel, wherein the riding type vehicle is capable of a rapid turn where only one of the left wheel and the right wheel rotates around a turn center position, or the left wheel and the right wheel rotate in opposite directions, the riding type vehicle comprising: -
a sensor, arranged on the vehicle, capable of detecting an obstacle target on a rear side, the obstacle target being a target becoming an obstacle at the time of reversing or turning; and a control device for causing a turn to decelerate, at the time when the obstacle target has been detected by the sensor and a rapid turn is performed to the rear, and causing a turn to stop prior to the vehicle colliding with the obstacle target. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A riding type vehicle having
a driving source, a left wheel and a right wheel, a transmission configured to receive power from the driving source to independently operate and drive the left wheel and the right wheel with regard to a rotation direction and a rotation speed, and caster wheels separately provided in a front-rear direction with respect to the left wheel and the right wheel, wherein the riding type vehicle is capable of a rapid turn where only one of the left wheel and the right wheel rotates, or the left wheel and the right wheel rotate in opposite directions, the riding type vehicle comprising: -
a rapid turn detection section for detecting the vehicle performing a rapid turn; and a turning speed suppression section for suppressing a turning speed, when a rapid turn is being performed, and a turning stability relationship amount, which is a physical quantity related to turning stability, is equal to or higher than a threshold. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
