Due to their high centre of gravity, quadbikes can easily pitch and roll over. Using the throttle aggressively can cause the bike to pitch over or roll over when turning. One solution that was investigated in 2014 was to use a throttle-by-wire system that would monitor the bike's telemetry and limit the throttle when necessary. In this project you will design and build a scale model for a quadbike to test the throttle-by-wire control algortihm. If you are interested in this project, please email me (h.namik@auckland.ac.nz) to setup a time to discuss. This project is suitable for a pair consisting of a mechanical and a mechatronics student.
