Steady-State Cornering Modeling and Analysis of Three-Wheel Narrow Vehicle

Article Preview

Abstract:

Electric mobility seems to be an innovative alternative to future urban transport. In this study, a steady-state cornering model of a three-wheel narrow electric vehicle is derived. The steady-state cornering analysis is conducted by varying the location of the vehicle center of gravity, speed and tilt angle. From this analysis, the center of gravity location and tilt angle that gives better cornering characteristics can be obtained. Therefore, this analysis helps and can be used as starting point to design the chassis and the tilting control system of the three-wheel narrow electric vehicle.
