The Personal Mobility Vehicle (PMV) described in this paper has typical biomimetic features that govern the vehicle body inside a curve. Because the behavior of this proposed vehicle is similar to that of a two-wheeled one, it is necessary to examine the PMV and its potential for interference with other vehicles in the midst of ordinary road traffic. Therefore, we developed a microscale traffic simulator, including a driver model and a road transportation system, taking into account vehicle dynamics. We also analyzed simulation results in order to ensure that the PMV is compatible with the microscale traffic flow.
