Arcimoto Mean Lean Machine

Simulation & Validation Data

Accelerometer and tilt data collected on-vehicle before and after the suspension geometry changes, alongside Unity simulation screenshots of each evaluated condition.

Vehicle Data - Before Adjustments

On-vehicle accelerometer (x, y, z) and tilt angle logged prior to any geometry changes. The instability event in this data corresponds to the geometry condition in Simulation A.

Acceleration vs Tilt (Before Adjustment) - x, y, z accelerometer channels overlaid with tilt angle, showing steering instability event

Unity Simulation - Geometry Comparisons

Screenshots from the Unity suspension-geometry simulator, showing three evaluated conditions. Each pair shows the original geometry (left) alongside the optimized output (right).

Vehicle Data - After Adjustments

Same test route logged after implementing the geometry changes. The instability event is absent; acceleration and tilt data are consistent with simulation predictions.
