Abstract

Accurate measurements of a bicycle’s physical parameters are required for realistic dynamic simulations and analysis. For the most basic models the geometry, mass, mass location and mass distributions must be measured. More complex models require measurements of tire characteristics, human characteristics, friction, stiffness, damping, etc. This paper concerns the measurement of the minimal bicycle parameters required for the benchmark bicycle presented in MEIJAARD, J. P., PAPADOPOULOS, J. M., RUINA, A., AND SCHWAB, A. L. Linearized dynamics equations for the balance and steer of a bicycle: A benchmark and review. Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences 463, 2084 (Aug 2007), 1955-1982.
