Abstract
Two-wheeled vehicles have been receiving attention as economical and convenient vehicles. However, two-wheeled vehicles are unstable. Therefore, falling down accidents happen very often by external factors such as wind, slipping and rough road. Moreover, two-wheeled vehicles often require driving skills such as keeping control vehicle’s posture, and it is especially difficult for elderly people. In order to solve this problem, we are developing Motor-and-bicycle Anti Rolldown System (MARS). This system can prevent falling down accident of two-wheeled vehicles by using a gyroscopic effect, and it can control the stability of vehicles. In this paper, we report the optimal feedback gain values for self-standing test by using the prototype which we developed for the first time.
