Abstract

The bicycle model of a car is a very important simplification that allows us to have an initial understanding of its stability. It is modeled as coupled ordinary differential equations that can be analyzed both analytically and numerically; this is not the case for the complete vehicle, which requires the use of numerical methods exclusively. The parameters involved allow us to characterize the stability of the vehicle with validity for low speeds. This work presents the use of telemetry from a real competition vehicle (speed and steering angle) in a bicycle model and observed states not available in telemetry are analyzed.
