“…In two-wheel motorcycle, the rider and the pillion weight dominates the vehicle weight and therefore any movement on the part of the passengers will affect the load transfer as well as the ride comfort and handling of the motorcycle. So the simulation of motorcycle ride comfort is relatively complex and the simulation result is very difficult to verify [3,4]. The motorcycle vibration when running on bump road is comprehensive reaction of motorcycle suspension performance [5].…”

Through analyzing the motion when motorcycle runs on the bump road, the 5-DOF multi-body dynamics model of motorcycle is developed, the degrees of freedom include vertical displacement of sprung mass, rotation of sprung mass, vertical displacement of driver, and vertical displacement of front and rear suspension under sprung mass. According to Lagrange Equation, the differential equations of motion and state-space formulation are derived. Then bump road is simulated by triangle bump, and input displacement is programmed by MATLAB. With the input of bump road, motorcycle ride comfort is simulated, and the simulation results are verified by experiment results combined with two channels tire-coupling road simulator. It indicates that the simulation results and experiment results match well; the 5-DOF model has guidance for development of motorcycle ride comfort.

Motorcycle Ride Comfort is the important performance of motorcycle. In this paper, a rigid-flexible coupling virtual prototype is developed with CATIA, ADAMS and NASTRAN tools. Combined with motorcycle road simulator, the simulation platform of motorcycle ride comfort is built. Then with the input of pulse road, motorcycle ride comfort is simulated, and the simulation results are verified by experiment results. It indicates that the simulation results have a high credibility and the road simulator provides a good method of verification for simulation of motorcycle ride comfort.

“…Because the RPC simulates response spectrum of vehicle, the reproduction accuracy of vehicle response is improved greatly with road simulator [2]. At present, road simulation test based on RPC is widely used in automotive full and parts test, but for two-wheeled motorcycle, driver and rear seat weight play a dominant role for vehicle weight, and the posture and position of passenger greatly affect the load transmission, so collecting load spectrum and iterating response are more complicated, some technical issues need to be resolved [3,4,5].…”

The principle of remote parameter control(RPC) and test method of road simulator test are analyzed, and the road simulation test of motorcycle is implemented with road simulator produced by MTS company. Firstly, by disposing strain gauge and accelerometer, the load spectrum of motorcycle is sampled when the motorcycle runs on gravel road and concrete road with constant speed. Then using the front and rear axle acceleration as desired response signals, the simulation iteration and road simulation test are conducted. At last, the key problems of motorcycle road simulation test are solved. The result shows that the desired response signals and the monitor signals are well matched, and the road load spectrum of motorcyle is accurately reproduced.
