Abstract :
In this work an innovative method for estimating the roll angle in two-wheeled vehicles is proposed. The capability of providing in real time a reliable measure of such quantity allows to evaluate the dynamic properties of the vehicle and its tires and represents the enabling technology for the design of advanced ABS systems and stability control systems. The method proposed in this work is based on a low-cost sensor configuration, suitable for industrial purposes. The validity of the proposed approach is assessed in a multi-body simulator environment and on an instrumented test vehicle.
