Authors Abstract
Content
The motorcycle banks at an angle in order to maintain an adequate balance between the motorcycle and centrifugal force when it turns. This results in the following problems:
1) The motorcycle rider's visibility is reduced due to insufficient forward illumination.
2) Glare is projected onto oncoming drivers.
This thesis is a report on the development of a device designed to prevent the above-mentioned problems so that the rider may drive his motorcycle safely at night.
