Mathematical modelling of chassis dynamics of electric narrow tilting three wheeled vehicle

In recent years, substantial research efforts have been invested by industry and academia into the development of narrow tilting three wheeled vehicle technology as a viable alternative to four and two wheel vehicles for personal mobility. But there are challenges in order to make such vehicles safe, comfortable and acceptable to consumers. In this paper, a mathematical model of an electric narrow three wheel tilting vehicle, which has two front wheels driven by two in-wheel hub motors and one rear wheel, is proposed. The model is aimed at analysis of vehicle chassis dynamics along longitudinal, lateral and tilt (of body) motions using Simulink as implementation tool.
