Dynamics and Control of Single Track Vehicles

A mini symposium on the dynamics and control of single track vehicles will be held at Delft University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands, during the morning of 18 September 2012. This symposium will be prior Jodi Kooijman's  public defense of his PhD thesis entitled "Bicycle Rider Control; observations, modeling & experiments", which will take place in the afternoon. The presence of a number of highly esteemed researchers in the field of bicycle and motorcycle dynamics and control created this unique opportunity to hold this mini symposium. The symposium is open for everybody, and free of charge. We look forward to welcoming you to the symposium.

Program  Tuesday, 18 September, 2012.
