A STUDY ON TWO WHEELER SELF BALANCING BIKE USING A GYROSCOPE

Abstract

In this day and age, automation has become more of a necessity than a luxury. Even after having several preventive safety measures, the use of two-wheelers leads to accidents. According to the survey most of them, happen because of imbalance or two-wheelers going out of control. The need for a self-balancing system for two-wheelers is in high demand among the customers. This paper studied the gyroscopic method of a self-balancing bike. The gyroscopic effect is used in stabilizing systems for sectors like the Military’s rocket guidance systems, aerospace, aeronautics industries, ships, etc. These sectors are using gyroscopes for years. We have incorporated this principle into our two-wheeler model. The factors which affect balancing are the center of mass of the system, mass distribution, acceleration, steering of the vehicle towards left or right, and most importantly gyroscopic effect.
