380 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The motorcycle is characterized by a strong diversity, expressed in types and concepts, in technical subtleties and in power or torque specifics. The requirements concerning the active and passive safety, the power-to-weight or power-to-volume ratio, the aerodynamic characteristics and the available potential of electronic and telematics systems moved the barycenter of motorcycle creation from design and assembly to research and complex development.
This book – conceived by well recognized experts from Austria, Germany, Italy and United Kingdom – gives an overview upon advanced propulsion systems, braking, techniques, driving dynamics, electronic control, assistance systems, design, new technologies, safety concepts, environmental aspects and sound design.
Together with the first volume – published in 2003 – this work offers to the engineers, engineering students, motorcycle specialists and motorcycle interested people the base to recognize the development trends and potentialities of the future motorcycles.
