Abstract

This paper outlines the characteristics of a top-of-the range motorcycle simulator and focuses on its objective and subjective evaluation. The simulator has been designed and built at the University of Padua over a the last years; it consists of a motorcycle mock-up with functional throttle, brakes, clutch and gearlever mounted on a five ‘degrees of freedom’ platform, a real-time multi-body model of the motorcycle and an audio and visual systems. The purposes of the simulator are to test devices such as ABS, traction control and other ARAS in a controlled, safe environment, to study riders’ behaviour and to train them. In order to be able to apply the results obtained on the simulator to the real world, an innovative procedure for the objective and subjective validation of motorcycle simulators has been developed and applied to the simulator in question.
