Technology for measuring and diagnosing the damping force of motorcycle shock absorbers and determining the constant of coil springs when mounted in-vehicle is difficult. Resultantly, it is clear that only the damping force can be detected by eliminating the spring force effect and the un-sprung mass, when the displacement of the wheel is zero.

In this study, an effective technique for improving drift running performance was examined. Basically, a driver model with counter steering was examined with the assumption that the body slip angle, along with the body slip angle velocity, served as feedback. Next, the effectiveness of adding front wheel steer angle velocity feedback to steering angle compensation as a drift running performance improvement technique of a vehicle was analyzed.
