by Jason Moore I’ve been working on a small application to visualize and interact with the data resulting from identifying the bicycle model from all of my data. This is a preliminary look at how it is coming along. I’m using the basic grey box identification technique as described … Continue reading
by Jason Moore Two new students are collecting data with the instrumented bicycle. Elliot and Ziqi are two new graduate students in our lab and they have been learning about bicycle dynamics and getting familiar with using and collecting data with the instrumented bicycle. They’ve been doing some slalom experiments … Continue reading

Please spread the word. 2012 ASME Dynamic Systems and Control Conference and 2012 Motion & Vibration Conference Single Track Vehicle Dynamics and Control Session October 17-19, 2012, Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA http://dsc-conference.org/ Information The long arm of the Bicycle and Motorcycle Dynamics (BMD) research … Continue reading
by Jason Moore There are some tools in Matlab that don’t exist in Python. How can I seamlessly make use of Matlab tools with Python? I’ve been making use of Matlab’s System Identification toolbox extensively, as there really isn’t anything on the open source market that does the same kind … Continue reading
by Jason Moore The preliminary results for identification of the model for a series of runs. I’m working on the bicycle model identification mentioned that I started on in a previous post. My plan is to work on identifying a simple fourth order model as was shown but for a series of runs … Continue reading
by Andrew Kickertz Video clips of sphere-cylinder collision detection algorithm In effort to step up my ball-pin collision simulation from 2D circles to realistic 3D bodies, I have been working on collision detection algorithms for spheres and cylinders. The fruits of this week’s labor are summarized in the following videos:
by Jason Moore We wrote a paper for the IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man and Cybernetics, Part A: Systems and Humans about the manually controlled bicycle. It’s finally available. Our paper is available as early access on IEEE Explore: http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/TSMCA.2011.2164244 The software used to do the analysis and extra information is available … Continue reading
by Kenneth Lyons A first update on what I’ve been working on this quarter as a part of EME 199. Hey everyone, my name is Kenny and I’m taking some EME 199 units this quarter. As part of that, I’m working with Luke on his project and this is … Continue reading
by Jason Moore Some accuracy checks for my steer torque measurements. I’ve been checking over the accuracy of my steer torque measurements in detail to make sure that the measurement error is low. If my measurements are poor, then the hope of validating a bicycle model with the data may be impossible. … Continue reading
by Jason Moore I looked into how the identified controller parameters varied among two rider for several runs at the same speed. Here I examine 26 runs at the average speed of 5.0 +/- 0.2 m/s with three different riders. The assumptions are as follows: I use the Whipple model linear about … Continue reading
