Abstract


In this research, a design of an active stabilizing assistant system (ASAS) for a bicycle is proposed. Using gyroscopic effects of two spinning flywheels, the ASAS generates assistant torques which can assist the rider to stabilize his/her bicycle in various riding strategies. Hence, it can improve the riding performance and also the rider’s safety. To simulate the dynamic behaviors of the system, a model of a bicycle-rider system with the ASAS on the rear seat is developed. This model consists of 14 degrees of freedom and is derived by using Lagrange equations.
