In this connection, the tyres must be in constant contact with the ground. They are for private use. The safety equipment required pursuant to the German Road Traffic Act (StVZO) must be present and is usually included. Any other use is not considered to be proper use. City and folding bikes are not suitable for the following: jumps riding on stairs riding through deep water participation in sports events Mountain bikes serve to transport a single person. Due to the fact that safety equipment is usually not necessary for mountain bikes according to the German Road Traffic Act (StVZO), they are intended for use away from public roads. Mountain bikes are not suitable for the following: jumps wheelies stunts downhill riding on stairs riding through deep water participation in sports

  • Design of a Portable Tire Test Rig and Vehicle Roll- Over Stability Control
    Design of a Portable Tire Test Rig and Vehicle Roll- Over Stability Control Derek Martin Fox Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science In Mechanical Engineering Approved Saied Taheri, Chair John B. Ferris Disapproved Mehdi Ahmadian Presented on December 9, 2009 Danville, VA Keywords: Portable Tire Test Rig, Vehicle Rollover Mitigation Techniques © 2009 Design of a Portable Tire Test Rig and Vehicle Roll-Over Stability Control Derek Martin Fox Abstract Vehicle modeling and simulation have fast become the easiest and cheapest method for vehicle testing. No longer do multiple, intensive, physical tests need be performed to analyze the performance parameters that one wishes to validate. One component of the vehicle simulation that is crucial to the correctness of the result is the tire. Simulations that are run by a computer can be run many times faster than a real test could be performed, so the cost and complexity of the testing is reduced. A computer simulation is also less likely to have human errors introduced with the caveat that the data input into the model and simulation is accurate, or as accurate as one would like their results to be. Simulation can lead to real tests, or back up tests already performed. The repeatability of testing is a non-issue as well. Tire models are the groundwork for vehicle simulations and accurate results cannot be conceived without an accurate model. The reason is that all of the forces transmitted to and from the vehicle to the ground must occur at the tire contact patches.
