With the goal of reducing motorcycle mortality to 0% by 2050, Yamaha revealed more details about its Advanced Motorcycle Stability Support System (AMSAS). part of it Jin-Ki Kanno x Jin-Ki Anzen In view of safety, Yamaha wants to create an accident-free world for its customers.
Launched last year, AMSAS helps stabilize the vehicle at low speeds by controlling transmission and steering forces. This is achieved by using motor drives attached to the front wheel and steering wheel.
A Yamaha R25 was used as the basis for the AMSAS prototype, equipped with a 6-Axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) along with steering and steering actuators. The system enhances the stability of the motorcycle when taking off or at low speeds.
AMSAS project leader Akitoshi Suzuki said: “When starting or stopping, the steering actuator is attached to the front wheel to assist with stability and from that speed up to about 5 km/h, the steering actuator is mounted on the front wheel. The driver will take over. Currently in the middle of development, the AMSAS prototype can travel at walking speed without falling or requiring input from the driver.
AMSAS technology is an extension of Yamaha’s research and development in rider assistance for motorcycles, previously demonstrated in demonstration models such as the Motoroid and production bikes such as the Integrated Braking System. most linked to the Tracer 9 GT+ radar. “From now on, we will work on shrinking the size of different components etc., as we want to develop it into a platform that is not only for motorcycles but also adaptable to many Other personal mobility apps. like a bicycle,” Suzuki said.
