PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a vehicle to float on the water surface when there is the possibility of submergence of the vehicle (or entrance of water into its cabin) due to a great tsunami, flood, or the like.SOLUTION: An airbag 2 which can be filled with a sufficient amount of air to make a vehicle 1 float on the water surface is installed on the undersurface of the vehicle 1 at a position which does not hinder its wheel travel, in a state in which air is not filled therein, and an air filling device 3 which is capable of filling air into the airbag 2 is installed at an appropriate position on the vehicle. Thus, the vehicle 1 is made capable of floating on the water surface by inflating the airbag 2 when such a great flood that might make the vehicle submerge occurs.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3

    【課題】大津波や洪水などで車両が水没(又は車内に浸水)するおそれがあるときに、車両を水面に浮かせることができるようにする。【解決手段】車両1の下面における車輪走行の邪魔にならない場所に、車両1を水面に浮かせ得る量のエアを封入し得るエアバッグ2をエア抜き状態で設置しているとともに、車両の適所にエアバッグ2内にエアを充填し得るエア充填装置3を設けていることにより、車両が水没するような大規模水害の発生時にエアバッグ2を膨らませて車両1を水面に浮かせることができるようにした。【選択図】 図3
