Abstract
This paper proposes a new method to control of heavy vehicles for prevent of turn over using gyroscopic moment. In the proposed method the gyroscopic moment is assumed to be generated by the flywheel, which could be applied to vehicles as energy storage device. The simple two degrees of freedom analytical model was derived to examine theoretically and the parameters of flywheel system are referred to the real system which was introduced in our Chiba Experiment Station. Vehicle dynamics model is modeled by multibody dynamics software "SIMPACK" and the control performance was examined. Finally, the compatibility between gyro actuator and flywheel system for energy stores of braking of the vehicle is evaluated by numerical simulation under the assumption of actual operation mode. It was found that the proposed control system is effective for prevention of roll turn over and energy storage system.
