  • Abstract
    Linearized equations of motion for a motorcycle with small roll angles are derived and used to design a robust cascade control scheme that stabilizes the motorcycle over a range of speeds. Stabilization is achieved by measuring the roll angle and its rate of change, and controlling the steering torque. The approach is validated via simulations and experiments performed with a radio-controlled scooter.
