“…Therefore, reduced traffic congestion, a clean traffic environment and a minimisation of the risk of an energy crisis are expected with the introduction of small electric vehicles. 1,[5][6][7] It is true that vehicles with a longer wheelbase and track having a lower centre of gravity (CG) are preferred for fast, safe and comfortable transport, which ultimately results in heavier vehicles as a result of the stronger frame and ballast requirements. Such heavier vehicles are not suitable for electric mobility, however, considering the adverse effects of weight on the driving range.…”

Traffic congestion, pollution due to vehicular emissions and fuel energy crises are the major problems that have inspired research for the design of efficient and smaller vehicles as a regular mode of transport with a significantly lower carbon footprint. With an increased dependency on certain countries for fuel energy, electric mobility has been encouraged by policy makers so that national interests are not compromised. At the same time, enhanced standards of living have resulted in a demand for safer and comfortable transport. All of these factors have led to a need for a mode of transport that is efficient, compact, safe and comfortable. Electric three-wheelers are seen as one of the promising options that fits all of these requirements. Due to their high propensity to rollover during cornering, however, the use of three-wheeled vehicles (3Ws) is limited to low-speed applications for cheap transport. Recent developments in the field of rollover mitigation through active tilt control mechanisms indicate that the future mode of transport will be more exciting than the existing one. This paper is a review mainly focused on the recent technological developments in active-tilt-controlled three-wheeled vehicles. This paper gives a detailed review of the methodologies chosen, control strategies adopted, types of vehicle chosen for test/simulation, mathematical models applied, key findings and future work proposed to address the dynamics-related issues of tilting 3Ws.

“…Implementando también un control de ganancia programada para hacer el control más robusto, considerando de esta manera la dinámica longitudinal y la lateral en la dinámica del vehículo. El sistema de control implementado por Kim et al, (2014), hace referencia a un controlador PID, en donde la entrada es la relación de inclinación del vehículo para las entradas de la velocidad longitudinal y el ángulo de deriva ingresado por el conductor. Las constantes del controlador proporcional, integral y derivativo fueron ajustadas mediante la realización de varias simulaciones.…”

“…Los NTV´s son la fusión entre un automóvil y una motocicleta, generando una gran expectativa para la nueva generación de transporte urbano, considerando sus dimensiones prácticas y su menor consumo de energía. Berote et al (2015) indica que, con el fin de que sea seguro y confortable como un coche convencional, debe ser alto y cerrado, pero debido a que por naturaleza una estructura alta y angosta tiende al vuelco o derrape, es necesario inclinarlo hacia el interior de la curva, esto con la finalidad de compensar el momento generado por la fuerza lateral, en adición Claveau et al, (2014) y Kim et al, (2014) menciona que, a diferencia del caso de una motocicleta, en donde el conductor inclina por sí mismo, la inclinación del NTV debe ser automática. Dos sistemas de control están disponibles, el control directo de inclinación y el control de dirección de inclinación, la acción combinada de estos dos sistemas sería la clave para mejorar el comportamiento dinámico (Guamán et al, 2019).…”

El presente artículo estudia el proceso de diseño e implementación de las suspensiones inclinables en coches angostos. Los coches angostos son un nuevo tipo de automóvil que podría llegar a solucionar los problemas de congestión, la contaminación ambiental y falta de espacios de estacionamiento en las urbes. Sin embargo, sus dimensiones no solo acarrean beneficios, ya que presentan inconvenientes en la implementación de suspensiones activas inclinables. Para estudiar la implementación de las suspensiones activas inclinables se realiza una investigación exploratoria, empleando estudios acerca del tema y aplicando la Declaración PRISMA. Se realizó un análisis explicativo entre varios modelos construidos y propuesto de suspensión, con respecto al diseño del mecanismo y su sistema de control, estableciéndose un proceso de diseño, implementación, control y simulación. Al evaluar los métodos tradicionales y programas de simulación se concluye que estos últimos ayudan a realizar la comprobación del modelo matemático.

“…It is mentioned in [4] that there is a scope to understand the effect of different driving conditions such as steering angle and speeds on the active tilting mechanism of a three wheel vehicle. Authors in [4] proposed a method to find optimal tilt angle for various speeds. This research work considers the effect of longitudinal dynamics (e.g., speed, slip ratio) during the stability control design of such a narrow tilting vehicle.…”

In recent years, substantial research efforts have been invested by industry and academia into the development of narrow tilting three wheeled vehicle technology as a viable alternative to four and two wheel vehicles for personal mobility. But there are challenges in order to make such vehicles safe, comfortable and acceptable to consumers. In this paper, a mathematical model of an electric narrow three wheel tilting vehicle, which has two front wheels driven by two inwheel hub motors and one rear wheel, is proposed. The model is aimed at analysis of vehicle chassis dynamics along longitudinal, lateral and tilt (of body) motions using Simulink as implementation tool.
