Pseudo code with arbitrary values of a Simple Bicycle Model given steering change. The x-axis points to the forward direction or the longitudinal direction The y-axis, which represents the lateral direction is positive when it points to the right of the driver The z-axis points to the ground satisfying theContinue Reading

Unbalanced forces create acceleration in the direction of the Net force. Fy = my” Which is the translational acceleration in the y direction Unbalanced moments create acceleration in the direction of the Net moment/torque around a given axis, where α is the angular acceleration(rad/sec*sec),I – moment of Inertia(3X3). τ =Continue Reading
