BMD 2013 - Bicycle and Motorcycle Dynamics 2013

The aim of this symposium is to bring together leading scientists and researchers in the field of bicycle and motorcycle dynamics and control, in a broad sense. This symposium had been planned by Prof. Schwab of Delft University of Technology, and Dr. Meijaard of Twente University, and was held at Delft in 2010. The symposium was a great success, with many researchers and engineers related to bicycle and motorcycle dynamics travelling from all over the world. Furthermore, it was decided that this international symposium would be held every three years. The second international symposium on Dynamics and Control of Single Track Vehicles is planned in response to these decisions. The international symposium on bicycle and motorcycle dynamics, BMD2013, will be held at Nihon University, College of Industrial Technology in Chiba, Japan from the 11th to the 13th of November, 2013. During the period of symposium, many vehicles such as the newest experimental vehicles, concept vehicles and so on, will be exhibited in the first floor (ground floor) of the symposium building. To promote open sharing of information, the meetings are organized to provide as much interaction between participants as possible. The format is highly informal and fluid, with a single-track of presentations and extensive time scheduled for interaction, brainstorming and idea sharing. In addition there will be room for poster presentations.
