• Motorcycle Dynamics Library in Modelica (Scribd)
  

  This paper presents a Modelica library developed for the dynamic simulation of a motorcycle, developed within the Dymola environment (see [1], [2], [3])and tailored to test and validation of active control systems for motorcycle dynamics. As a matter of fact, as a complete analytical model for two-wheeled vehicles is not directly available due to the complexity of their dynamic behavior, a reliable model should be based on multi-body modeling tools endowed with automated symbolic manipulation capabilities.
