Abstract
This study examines the effects of the Steer-by-Wire (SBW) system on lane keeping performance of motorcycles by examining simple computer simulation. The lane keeping performance is evaluated by the rider-motorcycle system using a rider control model which represents the rider's maneuver. The SBW system improves the lane keeping performance of motorcycles in comparison with conventional motorcycles. In addition, the Lane-Keeping-Assistance (LKA) system is applied to the SBW motorcycle and the cooperativeness of the SBW and the LKA systems is examined. The LKA system improves the lane keeping performance of the SBW motorcycle.
