Abstract: A steering handle 11 is connected to a front-left wheel FW1 via first and second steering shafts 12 and 13, a pinion gear 14 and a rack bar 31. The pinion gear 14 is connected to a front-right wheel FW2 via third to fifth steering shafts 15, 16 and 23, a pinion gear 24 and a rack bar 34. A first differential gear mechanism 40 is interposed between the first and second steering shafts 12 and 13, whereby the rotation of an electric motor 49 realizes the difference in the rotation between the input shaft and the output shaft of the first differential gear mechanism 40. A second differential gear mechanism 50 is interposed between the third and fourth steering shafts 15 and 16, whereby the rotation of an electric motor 59 realizes the difference in the rotation between the input shaft and the output shaft of the second differential gear mechanism 50. Therefore, the pair of left and right steering wheels FW1, FW2 are steered independently, thereby enhancing maneuverability of a vehicle.

Abstract: When packet sending and receiving apparatus 21 sets a connection, timing control apparatus 22 generates a timing information Tf as the packet is dispersed equivalently. Timing control apparatus 22 notices the timing information Tf to packet sending and receiving apparatus 21 and base station 3. Packet sending and receiving apparatus 21 carries out a packet generating processing in accordance with a frame offset value which is indicated by the timing information Tf. Therefore, the packets in which a packet transmission timing is averaged in a packet transmission period arrives to packet multiplex apparatus 23. Consequently, it is possible to decrease a waiting time of the packet multiplex transmission. Therefore, it is possible to use efficiency a transmission link L1, while being satisfied the required service quality.
