SAFEBIKETitle of the Sub-Project: SAFEBIKE - Stability control by Advanced Full-braking systems of 2-Wheel motorBIKE vehicles Description: The continuously increasing traffic in the main European urban areas and the need for reducing vehicle emissions are rapidly stimulating the diffusion of 2-wheel vehicles for the urban-area mobility. Stability control of these vehicles in critical conditions (wet roads with non uniform pavement) is an important matter, and represents a major obstacle for the diffusion of this kind of vehicle, as well as a substantial safety problem. To overcome the lack of safety, the participating regions (Linz, Milan and Gyor) investigate alternative concepts for a curve-save ABS and stability system for 2-wheel vehicles. The main objective of the SAFEBIKE Sub-Project is to study and develop an automatic control system - similar to the Electronic Stability Control system (ESP) in 4-wheel vehicles - to strongly improve the stability of 2-wheel vehicles (motorbikes or scooters). The specific objectives are to understand the causes of the stability problems, to define methods and ideas to obtain a safe control and to test the results in a simulated environment. As possible solutions, we think both of new control algorithms as well as of extending some concepts of the 4-wheel stability programmes on motorbikes. Because of already existing strong contacts to regional companies, the know-how transfer of the regional partners (Linz, Milan and Gyor) activated within the sub-project is supposed to become a permanent cooperation, also beyond the time/scope limits of the sub-project. The planned visits and short visits will provide a strong exchange of experience of partners in Milan (experts in the field of advanced control in automotive applications), Linz (researchers for automotive control, and in modelling and control of hydraulic systems) and Gyor (with significant expertise in data-acquisition in vehicles). The results of the sub-project will be presented in a final workshop to academic institutions and private companies within the three partner regions.
