1. A travel method comprising the steps of:
- providing an inverted two-wheel apparatus that travels while keeping an inverted state, the inverted two-wheel apparatus comprising;
drive means that drives wheels;
control means that generates a torque command value to control drive torque of the drive means; and
detecting posture information of a vehicle with a posture detection means; and
performing control with the control means to dismount an occupant upon judgment that,(1) when accelerating in a forward direction, the torque command value that is generated is a maximum value, which means that the torque command value is in a saturation state, anda pitch angle of a vehicle body is generated in a forward-inclined direction and a pitch angular velocity is generated at a front of a traveling direction, which means that inverted control is in a failure state based on the posture information detected by the posture detection means, or(2) when decelerating in a backward direction, the torque command value that is generated is a maximum value, which means that the torque command value is in a saturation state, anda pitch angle of a vehicle body is generated in a backward-inclined direction and a pitch angular velocity is generated at a rear of a traveling direction, which means that inverted control is in a failure state based on the posture information detected by the posture detection means.

Abstract
An inverted two-wheel apparatus includes drive means that drives wheels; control means that generates a torque command value to control drive torque of the drive means; and posture detection means that detects posture information of a vehicle. The inverted two-wheel apparatus is able to travel while keeping an inverted state. Furthermore, the control means performs control to dismount an occupant upon judgment that the torque command value that is generated is equal to or more than a predetermined value, which means in a saturation state, and inverted control is in a failure state based on the posture information detected by the posture detection means.

6. A travel method comprising the steps of:
-
providing an inverted two-wheel apparatus that travels while keeping an inverted state, the inverted two-wheel apparatus comprising; wheel drive units that drives wheels; a control device that generates a torque command value to control drive torque of the wheel drive units; and a posture sensor that detects posture information of a vehicle, executing the control device to dismount an occupant upon judgment that, (1) when accelerating in a forward direction, the torque command value that is generated is a maximum value, which means that the torque command value is in a saturation state, and a pitch angle of a vehicle body is generated in a forward-inclined direction and a pitch angular velocity is generated at a front of a traveling direction, which means that inverted control is in a failure state based on the posture information detected by the posture sensor, or (2) when decelerating in a backward direction, the torque command value that is generated is a maximum value, which means that the torque command value is in a saturation state, and a pitch angle of a vehicle body is generated in a backward-inclined direction and a pitch angular velocity is generated at a rear of a traveling direction, which means that inverted control is in a failure state based on the posture information detected by the posture sensor.

7. A travel method comprising the steps of:
-
providing an inverted two-wheel apparatus that travels while keeping an inverted state, the inverted two-wheel apparatus comprising; drive means that drives wheels; control means that generates a torque command value to control drive torque of the drive means; and detecting posture information of a vehicle with a posture detection means; performing control with the control means to decrease vehicle velocity upon judgment that, (1) when accelerating in a forward direction, the torque command value that is generated is a maximum value, which means that the torque command value is in a saturation state, and a pitch angle of a vehicle body is generated in a forward-inclined direction and a pitch angular velocity is generated at a front of a traveling direction, which means that inverted control is in a failure state based on the posture information detected by the posture detection means, or (2) when decelerating in a backward direction, the torque command value that is generated is a maximum value, which means that the torque command value is in a saturation state, and a pitch angle of a vehicle body is generated in a backward-inclined direction and a pitch angular velocity is generated at a rear of a traveling direction, which means that inverted control is in a failure state based on the posture information detected by the posture detection means.
