Matteo Corno & Mara Tanelli 
Modelling, Simulation and Control of Two-Wheeled Vehicles [PDF ebook] 

Mara Tanelli was born in Lodi, Italy, in 1978. She is an
Assistant Professor of Automatic Control at the Dipartimento di
Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria of the Politecnico di
Milano, Italy, where she obtained the Laurea degree in Computer
Engineering in 2003 and the Ph.D. in Information Engineering in
2007. She also holds a M.Sc. in Computer Science from the
University of Illinois at Chicago. Her main research interests
focus on control systems design for vehicles, energy management of
electric vehicles, control for energy aware IT systems and sliding
mode control. She is co-author of more than 100 peer-reviewed
scientific publications and 7 patents in the above research aras.
She is also co-author of the monograph ‘Active braking
control systems design for vehicles’, published in 2010 by
Springer.
Matteo Corno was born in Italy in 1980. He received his
Master of Science degree in Computer and Electrical Engineering
(University of Illinois) and his Ph.D. cum laude degree with a
thesis on active stability control of two-wheeled vehicles
(Politecnico di Milano) in 2005 and 2009. He is currently an
Assistant Professor with the Dipartimento di Elettronica,
Informazione e Bioingegneria, Politecnico di Milano, Italy. In
2011, his paper ‘On Optimal Motorcycle Braking’ was
awarded the best-paper prize for Control Engineering Practice,
published in the period 2008-2010. In 2012 and 2013, he co-founded
two highly innovative start-ups: E-Novia and Zehus. His current
research interests include dynamics and control of vehicles,
Lithium-ion battery modelling, estimation and control and modelling
and control of human powered electric vehicles. He held research
positions at Thales Alenia Space, University of Illinois, Harley
Davidson, University of Minnesota, Johannes Kepler University in
Linz, and TU Delft.
Born in Manerbio, Italy, in 1968, Sergio Savaresi holds
an MSc in Electrical Engineering and a Ph D in Systems and Control
Engineering, both from the Politecnico di Milano, and an MSc in
Applied Mathematics from Università Cattolica. After receiving
the Ph D, he was a consultant for Mc Kinsey&Co, Milan Office. He
is Full Professor in Automatic Control since 2006. He has
been visiting scholar at Lund University, Sweden, University of
Twente, The Netherlans, Canberra National University, Australia,
Minnesota University at Minneapolis, USA, Johannes Kepler
University, Linz, Austria. He is Associate Editor of several
international journals and he has been in the International Program
Committee of many International Conferences. His main research
interests are in the areas of vehicles control, automotive systems,
data analysis and modeling, non-linear control, and industrial
control applications. He is the head of the Mo VE research group at
the Politecnico di Milano, active in many public and industrial
projects in all vehicle-related areas.
