  To improve the performance and riding comfort of tilt-controlled vehicles, we developed a next-generation tilt control system to use a position detecting system, a tilt pattern, tilt actuator and other new technical elements. Under this system, the running position is detected by a curvature database based on GPS signals, with the pattern of tilt angle calculated to minimize the evaluation index of riding comfort. The pattern thus created is called the "JT pattern," according to which the tilt actuators are driven by electro-hydraulic power. Running tests prove that low-frequency vibration has decreased as an effect of this system.
