11. The vehicle (10) as claimed in claim 8, wherein said vehicle (10) is a three-wheeled vehicle or a four-wheeled vehicle.
12. A method for maintaining stability of a vehicle (10), said method comprising:
detecting a change of a contact angle of at least one wheel of a pair of
transversely adjacent wheels by at least a first sensing device;
detecting change of a position of said at least one wheel by at least a second
sensing device;
applying load to at least a first wheel of said pair of based at least on
detection of said change of contact angle by a microcontroller; and
reducing load of at least one wheel of said pair of transversely adjacent
wheels.
13. The method for maintaining stability of a vehicle (10) as claimed in claim 12, wherein said change of said contact angle during banked road condition.
14. The method for maintaining stability of a vehicle (10) as claimed in claim 12, wherein said change of a position is a difference between an actual position and reference position of said pair of transversely adjacent wheels.
