An air management system for a vehicle having a first pneumatic circuit and a second pneumatic circuit, in which the first and second pneumatic circuits are pneumatically connected in a neutral position via a cross-flow mechanism. The first pneumatic circuit includes a first leveling valve configured to adjust independently the height of a first side of the vehicle. The second pneumatic circuit includes a second leveling valve configured to adjust independently the height of a second side of the vehicle. The first and second leveling valves are configured to establish pneumatic communication between the first and second pneumatic circuits when the first leveling valve is not independently adjusting the height of the first side of the vehicle and the second leveling valve is not independently adjusting the height of the second side of the vehicle.

A system includes an inspection robot having a plurality of input sensors, the plurality of input sensors distributed horizontally relative to an inspection surface and configured to provide inspection data of the inspection surface at selected horizontal positions; a controller, comprising: a position definition circuit structured to determine an inspection robot position of the inspection robot on the inspection surface; a data positioning circuit structured to interpret the inspection data, and to correlate the inspection data to the inspection robot position on the inspection surface; and wherein the data positioning circuit is further structured to determine position informed inspection data in response to the correlating of the inspection data with the inspection robot position.

A system including an inspection robot having a plurality of sensors, a further sensor, and a controller. The controller having circuitry to receive inspection data with a first resolution from the plurality of sensors, determine a characteristic on the inspection surface based on the inspection data, and provide an inspection operation adjustment in response to the characteristic, wherein the inspection operation adjustment includes a change from the first resolution to a second resolution. The change from the first resolution to the second resolution includes enabling the further sensor where the further sensor is at least one of: horizontally distributed with or vertically displaced from the plurality of sensors relative to a travel path of the plurality of sensors, and at least one of: offset in alignment from the travel path of the plurality of sensors, or operated out of phase with the plurality of sensors.

A system used to control the orientation of a vehicle's suspension. The system includes a control system receiving input data from a plurality of sensors concerning the relative motion, speed, and orientation of the vehicle. The control system is configured to process the input data and actively control the orientation of the suspension system by selecting a suitable driver speed and tilt angle according to external conditions.

A construction vehicle has a slewing ring on which a superstructure is rotatably mounted, and an undercarriage supporting the slewing ring. The undercarriage includes an upper chassis, having an upper propulsion device, that is rigidly connected to the slewing ring, and a lower chassis having a lower propulsion device that is mounted in a pivotable manner with respect to the upper chassis. Furthermore, a pivoting apparatus is provided in order to pivot the lower chassis relative to the upper chassis.

The present invention field relates to a braking device of the tilting system of vehicles that have at least three wheels and can lean sideways by virtue of the presence a so-called wheel tilting system. The device is characterized in that it comprises an electronic control unit adapted to receive and process a plurality of signals coming from devices capable of detecting parameters related to the instantaneous dynamic behavior of the vehicle and to selectively actuate said braking means.

The present invention discloses a three-wheeled motor vehicle having a lockable tilting mechanism. The tilting mechanism is configured to tilt the vehicle at any angle without the need for a driver to put their feet on the ground outside the vehicle. The tilting mechanism is further configured to lock the tilting of the vehicle at any desired angle by the driver. The present invention enables the driver to alter the lean from within the vehicle if the lean is locked in an undesirable position. The tilting mechanism is further configured to enable the driver to lock or unlock the lean of the vehicle in a manner that allows the driver to intuitively switch between steering and counter-steering.

A walking beam assembly includes a support beam and a mount member configured to mount the support beam on a vehicle chassis. Furthermore, the assembly includes a gear assembly that is supported proximate an end of the support beam. The gear assembly includes a gear train and a gear housing. The gear train is operably coupled to a wheel hub. The gear housing substantially encloses the gear train. Moreover, the walking beam assembly includes an input drive assembly with at least one movable part configured to deliver an input torque from the vehicle engine to the gear train. The input drive assembly includes an input drive housing that substantially encloses the at least one movable part. The input drive housing is attached to the gear housing such that an interior of the input drive housing is in fluid communication an interior of the gear housing.

An air management system for a vehicle having a first pneumatic circuit and a second pneumatic circuit, in which the first and second pneumatic circuits are pneumatically connected in a neutral position via a cross-flow mechanism. The first pneumatic circuit includes a first leveling valve configured to adjust independently the height of a first side of the vehicle. The second pneumatic circuit includes a second leveling valve configured to adjust independently the height of a second side of the vehicle. The first and second leveling valves are configured to establish pneumatic communication between the first and second pneumatic circuits when the first leveling valve is not independently adjusting the height of the first side of the vehicle and the second leveling valve is not independently adjusting the height of the second side of the vehicle.

A structure of rocking controller of a saddle riding type vehicle includes a rocking lock mechanism configured to lock lateral rocking of the vehicle body; wherein the rocking lock mechanism includes an arc shaped lock plate which crosses with an axial direction of a rocking shaft of the vehicle body and a lock caliper configured to lock a relative rocking between the lock plate and the lock caliper by clamping the lock plate, and a motor for the actuator is arranged in front of the rocking lock mechanism and the rotating drive shaft of the motor is arranged so as to penetrate an inner circumferential region of the arc shaped lock plate.
