(Automotive Series) 1st Edition
by Mara Tanelli (Author), Matteo Corno (Author), Sergio Saveresi (Author)
Many books have been written on modelling, simulation and control of
four-wheeled vehicles (cars, in particular). However, due to the very
specific and different dynamics of two-wheeled vehicles, it is very
difficult to reuse previous knowledge gained on cars for two-wheeled
vehicles.
Modelling, Simulation and Control of Two-Wheeled Vehicles
presents all of the unique features of two-wheeled vehicles,
comprehensively covering the main methods, tools and approaches to
address the modelling, simulation and control design issues. With
contributions from leading researchers, this book also offers a
perspective on the future trends in the field, outlining the challenges
and the industrial and academic development scenarios. Extensive
reference to real-world problems and experimental tests is also included
throughout.
Key features:
- The first book to cover all aspects of two-wheeled vehicle dynamics and control
- Collates cutting-edge research from leading international researchers in the field
- Covers motorcycle control – a subject gaining more and more attention both from an academic and an industrial viewpoint
- Covers
modelling, simulation and control, areas that are integrated in
two-wheeled vehicles, and therefore must be considered together in order
to gain an insight into this very specific field of research
- Presents analysis of experimental data and reports on the results obtained on instrumented vehicles.
Modelling, Simulation and Control of Two-Wheeled Vehicles
is a comprehensive reference for those in academia who are interested
in the state of the art of two-wheeled vehicles, and is also a useful
source of information for industrial practitioners.
