A review of the current use of multibody dynamics methods in the analysis of the dynamics of
vehicles is given. Railway vehicle dynamics as well as road vehicle dynamics are …

In this paper, a literature review on two-wheeled vehicle systems is methodically performed
and presented. For this purpose, the principal aspects concerning the kinematic, dynamic …

In this paper, the dynamics of bicycles is analyzed from the perspective of control. Models of
different complexity are presented, starting with simple ones and ending with more realistic …

The development of bicycles and motorcycles since the first patented running machine, or
draisine, in 1817 is described. Bicycle modeling and control were also discussed. These …

Dynamics and Optimal Control of Road Vehicles uniquely offers a unified treatment of tyre,
car and motorcycle dynamics, and the application of nonlinear optimal control to vehicle …

An anti-lock brake system based on fuzzy logic has been developed and optimized to cope
with changes in adherence road conditions. Conventional control systems have to be tuned …

This paper introduces the idea of using mechanical steering compensators to improve the
dynamic behavior of high-performance motorcycles. These compensators are seen as …

After some brief history, a mathematical model of a bicycle that has become a benchmark is
described. The symbolic equations of motion of the bicycle are given in two forms and the …

The establishment of damper settings that provide an optimal compromise between wobble-
and weave-mode damping is discussed. The conventional steering damper is replaced with …

This paper represents the second contribution of a two-part research work presenting the
application of the proposed multibody analysis approach to bicycle systems and the relative …
