Abstract
A successful development using a combination of hydraulic and mechanical technologies has led to the realization of a reliable and safe system that enables a Man Wide Vehicle to actively tilt in corners and to participate in modern day traffic.
The tilting system ( called DVC = Dynamic Vehicle Control ), being the heart of the concept, controls the vehicle and at the same time gives the necessary feedback to the driver.
See also the TNO paper : The Dynamic Behaviour of a new type of Man Wide Vehicle for the dynamic analysis of this vehicle Compared to for instance an electronic system the hydraulic/mechanical tilting system has many advantages such as reliability and quick response. As a result Brink Dynamics has achieved road approval according to EC-regulations whereas until today no electronic system has successfully been built that passed road regulations tests such as the lane-change.
