Analisis Karakteristik Handling Kendaraan Roda Tiga Dengan Revolute Joint Frame
Abstract: This research
focuses on handling performances of an innovative three-wheeled vehicle. A
three-wheeled vehicle is a fine synthesis between the maneuverability and
compactness of a motorcycle and the stability and loadbearing capacity of a
four-wheeled car. Simulation using universal mechanism program in expecting to
evaluate the parts of handling with different configuraton from a vehicle to
find new handling index, which is also shown the quantity of kynematic and
dynamic of the vehicle. Two wheeled vehicle has a nimble maneuver and simple of
dimention better than four wheeled vehicle. But its also has weakness in
lacking of handling, safetiness and stability, which is not found in four
wheeled vehicle. How if the three aspect applied into two wheeled vehicle
technology. The simulation result showed that i.r.c configuration above the ground
have roll transfer function value greater than i.r.c configuration on the
ground and below the ground at all the speed. So that, it concluded that i.r.c
configuration above the ground was easier to be handle. These result was agree
with qualitatif test. Most of the test drivers (96,7 %) said that i.r.c
configuration above the ground had a little effort to handle than the others
configurations. However, 96,7 % of the test drivers said that i.r.c below the
ground was more stable.
