Assessing slip of a rolling disc and the implementation of a tyre model in the benchmark bicycle.

For the development of a real time bicycle/motorcycle model a compact formulation of the dynamic behaviour is required. The modelling environment MatLab SimMechanics was posed as a prerequisite. For the development of the tyre model the wheel was considered as a disc with knife edge contact to the ground. A tyre model typically uses slip quantities as the input and calculates forces and moments as outputs. Longitudinal- and lateral slip are calculated as the components of a normalized slip velocity in the contact point. The location of this contact point can be de-noted with a position vector r pointing from the wheel disc centre to the contact point.
