This brief addresses two estimation problems relevant to traction control for motorcycles:
longitudinal vehicle velocity estimation and wheelie (ie, front wheel lifting off the ground …

The dynamic behavior of a Powered Two-Wheeler (PTW) is much more complicated than
that of a car, which is due to the strong coupling between the longitudinal and lateral …

The design of a production-grade control system is a complex and costly process, spanning
from modeling to design and end-of-line tuning. This paper deals with the design of a …

Abstract Electrically Power Assisted Cycles (EPACs) have been gaining increasing attention
worldwide during the past few years. The delivery of a good assistance during inclines …

Multi-level road junctions are becoming increasingly popular in several major cities. In order
to cope with such scenarios, car navigation systems require positioning units to supply …

This paper proposes a sensor fusion algorithm to determine the motor torque for power-
assist electric bicycles. Instead of using torque sensors to directly measure the pedaling …

Customer usage profiles are the most unknown influences in vehicle design targets and they
play an important role in durability analysis. This publication presents a customer load …

Modern agricultural vehicles are complex machines that require many automatic controls.
Combine harvesters are particularly challenging from a control perspective. A critical control …

Motorcycle safety systems rely on accurate state estimation of vehicle quantities. Systems
like Traction Control (TC), Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and anti-wheelie (AW) are based …

Precise and robust localization of vehicles on proving grounds and test facilities is an
essential requirement for their safe operation. Although motorcyclists are exposed to …
