PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a riding type mowing vehicle that can prevent damage to lawn occurring according to the operating status of a pedal or a steering, and can reduce load on a vehicle body.SOLUTION: The riding type mowing vehicle 1 includes wheels (front wheels 11a, 11b and a rear wheel 12) which are driven by the operation amount of pedals (an accelerator pedal 17 for reversing and an accelerator pedal 18 for advancing), and in which the angle of a rotating shaft changes according to the operation amount of a steering wheel 16. The vehicle includes: a target speed calculation part 38a for calculating a target speed for a vehicle based on the operation amount of the pedal a speed limit value setting part 38b for setting, from the angle of the rotary shaft of wheels, a vehicle speed limit value that is the limit value for the speed of the vehicle and a motor control part 38c for controlling, if the calculated result by the target speed calculation part 38a exceeds the vehicle speed limit value, the rotary drive of the wheels by limiting the target vehicle speed to the vehicle speed limit value.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】ペダルやステアリングの操作状況に応じて生ずる芝の損傷を防止するとともに車両にかかる負担を軽減することができる乗用型芝刈り車両及びその制御方法を提供する。【解決手段】乗用型芝刈り車両1は、ペダル(後進アクセルペダル17及び前進アクセルペダル18)の操作量に応じて回転駆動され、ステアリングホイール16の操作量に応じて回転軸の角度が変更される車輪(前輪11a,11b及び後輪12)を備える車両であって、ペダルの操作量に基づいて目標とすべき車両の速度を算出する目標速度算出部38aと、車輪の回転軸の角度から車両の速度の制限値である車両速度制限値を設定する速度制限値設定部38bと、目標速度算出部38aの算出結果が車両速度制限値を超えている場合には、目標とすべき車両の速度を車両速度制限値に制限して車輪の回転駆動を制御するモータ制御部38cとを備える。【選択図】図2
