Narrow tilting vehicles have been identified as a novel concept for individual urban transport providing car-like levels of comfort, safety and convenience with the low emissions, noise and road envelopes of motorcycles. This paper discusses the development and simulation of the hydraulic system and the necessary control system to actively control the tilting mechanism of a narrow tilting vehicle. A preliminary hydraulic system was defined based on the specifications of the tilt system, which was then modelled in MatLab-Simulink using a hydraulic blockset. Various input demands were used to select and size the components and assess the predicted performance of the complete system. Using this simulation, a final circuit was established. Constructing and implementing the complete system on a rolling prototype of the vehicle will aim to examine real performance.
