Abstract :
The use of an Electrical narrow tilting car instead of a large gasoline car should dramatically decrease traffic congestion, pollution and parking problem. The aim of this paper is to give a unique presentation of the geometric modeling issue of a new narrow tilting car. The modeling is based on the modified Denavit Hartenberg geometric description, which is commonly used in Robotics. Also, we describe the special Kinematic of the vehicle and give a method to analyze the tilting mechanism of it. Primarily experimental results on the validation of the geometrical model of a real tilting car are given.
