Abstract

Small and narrow electric vehicles can represent a solution module for the impending traffic infrastructure and environmental problems in city centres. Along with this vehicle concept, either a deterioration in driving comfort due to a very hard chassis tuning has to be accepted or an active tilting system has to be integrated into the concept. On the one hand, this active tilting control requires an additional development effort for a robust and safe control system. On the other hand, however, it also offers new possibilities for a new, attractive driving experience. With this newly gained degree of freedom in the tilt motion it is possible e.g. to vary the perceived lateral acceleration in a wide range.
