Abstract

The paper describes the new portable driving simulator for powered two wheelers (PTW) designed and built in 2011 at the University of Padova. The simulator is mainly to train riders and to study their behaviors in different scenario, but also to investigate different design choices on PTW dynamics, to develop and test new electronic devices and advanced driver assistance systems. Several examples of telemetry logged from the simulator are presented and discussed to highlight how the simulator captures the most important PTW dynamics, such as the counter-steering, tire skidding, weave/wobble instability, etc.
