Abstract(E)	Delta, with one wheel in front, and Tadpole, with one wheel in rear,are two common configurations of three-wheeled vehicles. In this paper, the dynamic behavior of these two configurations in terms of roll over stability and handling has been investigated. Improvement in their dynamics response using different vehicle dynamics control systems such as Direct Yaw Control (DYC), Active Front Steering (AFS), and Active Tilt (AT) is then has been studied. The results of this study show improvement in Delta and Tadpole configurations’ rollover stability during accelerating and braking, respectively. Atthe presence of no longitudinal acceleration, the vehicle with closer center of gravity to the two-wheel axle has better rollover stability. Delta configuration is however, more desirable than Tadpole configuration in handling performance.

About search

How to use the search box

You can enter up to 5 search conditions. The number of search boxes can be increased or decreased with the "+" and "-" buttons on the right.

If you enter multiple words separated by spaces in one search box, the data that "contains all" of the entered words will be searched (AND search).

Example) X (space) Y → "X and Y (including)"

How to use "AND" and "OR" pull-down

If "AND" is specified, the "contains both" data of the phrase entered in the previous and next search boxes will be searched. If you specify "OR", the data that "contains" any of the words entered in the search boxes before and after is searched.

Example) X AND Y → "X and Y (including)" X OR Z → "X or Z (including)"

If AND and OR searches are mixed, OR search has priority.

Example) X AND Y OR Z → X AND (Y OR Z)

If AND search and multiple OR search are mixed, OR search has priority.

Example) W AND X OR Y OR Z → W AND (X OR Y OR Z)

How to use the search filters

Use the "search filters" when you want to narrow down the search results, such as when there are too many search results. If you check each item, the search results will be narrowed down to only the data that includes that item.

The number in "()" after each item is the number of data that includes that item.

Search tips

When searching by author name, enter the first and last name separated by a space, such as "Taro Jidosha".
