Abstract

A self-paced preview tracking control model of motorcycle riders is proposed to represent the control action of a rider who is riding a motorcycle along a curved course. The model assumes that the rider can preview the course lying ahead and predict the future state of the vehicle based on the present state. The predicted future deviation is fed back as rolling moment through the shifting of weight. With this model the dynamics of such rider-motorcycle systems is investigated making use of numerical simulation and riding experiment. From these experiments, adequacy of the model is confirmed.
