ABSTRACT:
A tilting arrangement for a vehicle with the aid of which a body of the vehicle is adjustable in a roll direction relative to an underframe of the vehicle to compensate for centrifugal force exerted in curves on subjects resting on the body is controlled by a control signal which is produced with the aid of a device comprising a speedometer and a gyro arrangement for producing signals which are representative of the travelling velocity and the yaw angular velocity of the vehicle as well as the roll angular velocity and the roll angle of either one of said parts of the vehicle. The signals are combined to produce a control signal the magnitude of which is representative of the expression .vertline.m.V..theta..sub.gir .vertline.-.vertline.k.g..theta..sub.roll .vertline., and has a sign, plus or minus, determined by the sign of the signal representative of .theta..sub.roll, in which expression V is the travelling velocity of the vehicle, .theta..sub.gir is the yaw angular velocity of the vehicle, .theta..sub.roll is the roll angle of either of said parts of the vehicle, and m and k are each coefficients normally equalling 1 for full compensation of the centrifugal force exerted on subjects resting on the vehicle body.
