Abstract
A vehicle includes an acceleration sensor detecting collision, an electric actuator disposed outside a vehicle body, a battery and a boosting circuit supplying a high voltage to the electric actuator, and an electric suspension control ECU controlling the boosting circuit and the electric actuator, and in a case where the acceleration sensor detects the collision, the electric suspension control ECU limits the supply of the high voltage to the electric actuator.
Claims5
A vehicle comprising:
- a collision sensor detecting collision of the vehicle;
- an electrical suspension apparatus that is coupled to a wheel of the vehicle through a coupling part;
- a battery that supplies power to an electrical actuator of the electrical suspension apparatus;
- and
- a processor which controls the electrical suspension apparatus and the battery,
- wherein
- the collision sensor is an acceleration sensor that is disposed on the electrical actuator and that detects an acceleration applied to the coupling part from the wheel side, and
- the processor, in a case where the acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, detects the collision, and reduces a voltage of the power supplied to the electrical actuator.
