Active control systems find their way into motorcycle technology for support of the rider, often aimed to enhance the safety without reducing driving pleasure. In order to develop these new systems in the virtual environment an extended description of the tyre behaviour is required. More specific, the higher order tyre dynamics need to be modelled for the full range of driving conditions. This includes large lean angles, combinations of lateral and longitudinal slip, and various road profiles. This publication describes the adaptations of a passenger car rigid ring model (i.e. SWIFT) for motorcycle tyres in order to simulate cornering on uneven roads. The main extensions are related to the quasi-static tyre behaviour for rolling over obstacles. Further, the effects on the high frequency response are discussed.
