Research on dynamical properties of a three-wheeled electric vehicle from the point of view of driving safety

Abstract Many vehicles in urban and suburban environment are occupied just by one passenger, i.e. a driver. Therefore, it is worth to think about vehicles, which would be smaller lighter include environmental-friendly power source. One such vehicle the presented three-wheeled electric vehicle. This designed for passenger powered an ecologic powertrain. necessary research its driving properties. There two types of designs, original design modified with reworked body. Both characterised symmetrical distribution mass longitudinal axis. In terms properties vehicle, overturning stability during cornering vertical dynamics safety assessed both designs. The article presents main description designs results from simulation computations focused on analysis over-turning stability. It has been revealed that lighter, better dynamical curves regards higher total weight safer dynamics.
