Relating the bicycle frame's geometry to the handling performances considering different riders' physical parameters
View through CrossRef
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Conventional bicycle frame is composed of 4 parts: rear frame, front frame (handlebar and fork), front wheel & rear wheel. The scientific design methodology of bicycle's geometry has always been overlooked and thus most bicycles' handling (indicating the pedaling and the steering) performances are similar to each other. This paper focuses on 5 aspects in scientific frame geometry design procedures: 1. Deriving the equation of bicycle steady-turn's curvature; 2. Analyze bicycle self-stability through linearized equation of motion; 3. Create systematic error control management for Biomechanical Bicycle Fitting(BBF) research or practice; 4. Cluster riders into different groups for Active Biomechanical Bicycle Fitting(ABBF) in order to study how to optimize geometry for individual rider based on his/her special physiological qualities; 5. Monitor riders' rehabilitation progress for Active Biomechanical Bicycle Fitting (ABBF) using depth camera to restore the best frame geometry design step by step through data-driven decision-making method.
