Oats ( not just for breakfast anymore )
2 3 The bicycle without a rider balances perfectly well. With a novice rider, it will fall. This is because the novice has the wrong intuitions about balancing and freezes the position of the bicycle so that its own corrective mechanism cannot work freely. Thus learning to ride does not mean learning to balance, it means learning not to unbalance, learning not to interfere.
متن کاملNonlinear Modeling and Optimal Output Control of Two Wheeled Balancing Transporter
In this paper an optimal controller is proposed for a self-balancing electrical vehicle called Segway PT. This vehicle has one platform and two wheels on the sides and the rider stands on the platform. A handlebar, as a navigator, is attached to the body of Segway, with which the rider controls the vehicle. Since Segway uses electrical energy produced by batteries, resource consumption manageme...
متن کاملBiking Without Pedaling
It is well known that skilled bicycle riders can balance and propel themselves forward using motions of the handlebar. We present the complete nonlinear dynamics and control of such a pedal-less bicycle with a rider. Propulsion is achieved not by pedaling but by a cyclic motion of the steering axis of the bicycle. It is shown that this kind of actuation results in net forward motion of the bicy...
متن کاملOn the Design of a Recumbent Bicycle with a Perspective on Handling Qualities
A novel approach to bicycle design for handling qualities is presented. The design method is introduced through a case study in which a new front-wheel drive recumbent bicycle is developed. Since there exists no proper definition nor assessment for bicycle handling qualities, design process is based on comparing the uncontrolled dynamics of the new concepts to an existing design, known to handl...
متن کاملBalancing public bicycle sharing system by defining response rates for destinations
Public Bicycle Sharing System (PBSS) is used as a way to reduce traffic and pollution in cities. Its performance is related to availability of bicycles for picking up and free docks to return them. Existence of different demand types leads to the emergence of imbalanced stations. Here, we try to balance inventory of stations via defining maximal response rates for each type of rental request. I...
