Motorcycle Dynamic Model Synthesis for Two Wheeled Driving Simulator

This paper presents the development of motorcycle dynamics model. The considered vehicle contains six bodies linked with simple joints and parametrised by 11 degrees of freedom (DOF). The motorcycle model is to be used as a component in driving simulator application. It serves to investigate the influence of using a complete motorcycle dynamics model in inertial cues realism. The choice of the modeling method is based on the algorithmic Lagrange equation representation. This method makes the implementation of the dynamic model very easy. In addition, the principal external forces affecting the motorcycle behavior are considered (pneumatic forces, driver actions, brakes ... etc). At the end of this article, some simulation results are presented in the case of street line motion.
