Bicycle with Balancing Controller, Uneven Terrain – Multibody, Multi-Domain Physical Model in MapleSim – Maplesoft

Bicycle with Balancing Controller, Uneven Terrain

This is the model of an unmanned bicycle with a stability controller. The control torque is applied on the handlebar using the a gyroscopic sensory information which detects the bicycle's inclination from the upright position based on its roll angle.

The bicycle in this example travels through 3-D uneven terrain. The tire/ground interaction forces are calculated using the Fiala tire force model.

This model uses the MapleSim Tire Component Library
This model was created with MapleSim 2023.0
