Abstract

The study and analysis of two-wheeled vehicle’s falls and critical situations are difficult tasks to perform due to the rather elaborate dynamics that come into play. However, to prevent such events, it is necessary a good understanding of the conditions that trigger them. To this purpose, suitable tools able to show how the vehicle's parameters may influence its dynamic behavior are required. In the present paper the analysis of the major falls relative to a two-wheeled vehicle is performed by means of dynamics simulations based on the motorcycle model presented by the authors in prior works. The simulations are also discussed in relation to alternative descriptions provided by theoretical instruments reported in the literature and the substantial consistency of the results is shown.
