Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for damping a lateral pendular motion of a single-track motor vehicle having a front wheel, where—the presence of a pendular motion is ascertained, and—the moment of inertia of the front wheel is increased as a function of it.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for damping a lateral pendular motion of a single-track motor vehicle having a front wheel, comprising: ascertaining a presence of a pendular motion while the front wheel moves according to a rotational speed; and increasing, while the front wheel moves according to the rotational speed, a moment of inertia of the front wheel as a function of the pendular motion, wherein: the moment of inertia of the front wheel is increased by joining at least one disk to the front wheel in a force-locked manner, so that the disk rotates with the front wheel, the disk is attached to a frame of the motor vehicle in a direction parallel to the front wheel, and the disk does not rotate with the front wheel in an initial non-rotating state. 2. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising: detecting a presence of a lateral pendular motion via at least one of an output signal of a transverse acceleration sensor and an output signal of a yaw rate sensor. 3. The method as recited in claim 2 , wherein the moment of inertia of the front wheel is increased by moving at least one weight attached to the front wheel in a radial direction pointing towards an outside of the wheel. 4. The method as recited in claim 3 , wherein the weight is moved outwards along a spoke of the front wheel. 5. The method as recited in claim 4 , further comprising: after the pendular motion of the motor vehicle is damped, bringing back the weight to an original position by one of a screw and a cable line. 6. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the disk is the non-rotating state is joined by a coupling to the front wheel in the force-locked manner. 7. An apparatus for damping a lateral pendular motion of a single-track motor vehicle having a front wheel, comprising: an arrangement for ascertaining a presence of a pendular motion while the front wheel moves according to a rotational speed; and an arrangement for increasing, while the front wheel moves according to the rotational speed, a moment of inertia of the front wheel as a function of the pendular motion, wherein: the moment of inertia of the front wheel is increased by joining at least one disk to the front wheel in a force-locked manner, so that the disk rotates with the front wheel, the disk is attached to a frame of the motor vehicle in a direction parallel to the front wheel, and the disk does not rotate with the front wheel in an initial non-rotating state.
