  • Patent number: 12122474
    Abstract: A control device 20 of a rideable mobile body 1 determines a target speed of the rideable mobile body 1 according to at least the steering operation by a rider, and controls the travel of the rideable mobile body 1 according to the target speed. In the processing for determining a target speed, the target speed is restricted according to the positional relationship between a virtual wall set in a travel environment of the rideable mobile body 1 and the rideable mobile body 1. Thus, the comfort of the rider is secured while the travel of the rideable mobile body is restricted by the virtual wall.
