About the Symposium
The aim of this symposium is to bring together leading scientists and researchers in thefield of bicycle and motorcycle dynamics and control, in a broad sense. This symposium
had been planned by Prof. Schwab of Delft University of Technology, and Dr. Meijaard
of Twente University, and was held at Delft in 2010. The symposium was a great
success, with many researchers and engineers related to bicycle and motorcycle
dynamics travelling from all over the world. Furthermore, it was decided that thisinternational symposium would be held every three years. The second international
symposium on Dynamics and Control of Single Track Vehicles is planned in responseto these decisions.
The international symposium on bicycle and motorcycle dynamics, BMD2013, will beheld at Nihon University, College of Industrial Technology in Chiba, Japan from the11th to the 13th of November, 2013. During the period of symposium, many vehicles
such as the newest experimental vehicles, concept vehicles and so on, will be exhibitedin the first floor (ground floor) of the symposium building.
To promote open sharing of information, the meetings are organized to provide as muchinteraction between participants as possible. The format is highly informal and fluid,

negotiated. Every morning, a free bus is prepared to travel from this hotel to Tsudanuma
campus.
This Makuhari city is located between Narita New Tokyo International Airport andTokyo central station.

Limousine buses can be used from Narita New Tokyo

International Airport or Haneda international airport to this hotel, which takes about 45minutes.

From Tokyo central station to the Kaihin-makuhari St., it takes about 30

minutes by JR Keiyo line. And it is in the walking distance for 5 minutes from theKaihin-makuhari St. to the hotel.
