Vehicles which bank into corners include trains and proposed active tilting commuter vehicles, as well as motorcycles and bicycles which control bank angle through steering. In this paper, several methods of controlling the lean angle of actively tilted ground vehicles are considered. A vehicle in a steady coordinated turn has no perceived lateral acceleration at some point on the vehicle body and no overturning moment, if the roll center is at ground level and in the center of the vehicle. The desired lean angle is related to the lateral cornering acceleration. The lateral cornering acceleration measurement has typically been used as a control signal for the desired lean angle. Here, alternative methods of controlling the tilt angle, using either the perceived lateral acceleration or the torque in the active tilt mechanism are analyzed. These methods could lean to a simpler control system design.
