Dynamic stabilisation of gyroscopically stabilised single track (monorail) vehicles necessitates accurate tilt angle control on transitions between track sections with different curvature to eliminate or to effectively damp unwanted sideways swaying of the vehicle caused by flywheel nutation and by the control lag arising from feedback control loop. In this paper, a feedforward tilt control method is proposed, which utilises on-the-go running rail image analysis to predict an oncoming rail curvature change and to generate an input for the flywheel gimbal servo drive to get the vehicle cant adjusted to the rail curvature beforehand. This approach will allow such vehicles to be used in high-speed transportation, where their advantages could be manifested in full.
