New Approach for Controlling PTW Vehicle Dynamics: Characterization of Critical Scenarios

Abstract

At an exponential pace, the interest of ITS (intelligent transportation systems) solutions in the field of mobility has been increasing over the last two decades. However, progress in the field of driver assistance systems is unevenly distributed on the various modes of transport, with a modest development or at least not in terms of the vulnerability of users of Two Wheels. By approaching the mode of transport abbreviated in PTW (Powered Two-Wheeler), the study was devoted to bring out from the literature the different representative models as well as the different technologies known to date. In this paper, a dynamic model of a PTW vehicle based on the kinematic equations is developed and simulated using MATLAB Software. Also, a new approach based on Different scenarios of the PTW vehicle have been analyzed and discussed in both longitudinal and lateral mode. First, we have tackled the problem of collision by proposing a model of obstacle detection in longitudinal mode, then we used the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) lateral dynamics model to determine the maximum cornering speed by studying the influence of road parameters. After analyzing the results, we find the developed dynamic model give a safe speed profiles suitable for two-wheeled vehicles.
