NEWS' 2021
- Thanks to an always increased use of our software in the
championships CIV, CEV, BSB, WSBK, etc. we've worked further
on the analysis of the tire behavior to offer at technicians
and riders informations always more useful, both for the
setting, both for the driving. |

Presentation
|
The data acquisition is essential, and from this, together with the
the rider sensations, coming out the directions on how to improve
the set-up of the motorcycle on the track. The race engineer or the technician
intended to this role must have the capacity and the ability to
interpret the data acquired to translate them into appropriate
directions of set-up. The task is difficult because the data acquired
not explicitly indicate the problems and how to solve them, and then
the technician must rely on their own experience to make the
correct set-up evaluations and choices.
Motorbike Analysis instead allows you to
exploit the data acquired
to obtain information more easily interpretable and to evaluate in
advance the effects of the changes of set-up that you
intend to do, about the behavior of the motorcycle and of the tires.
In fact the software through the data acquired calculates the
dynamic behavior of the motorcycle , this allows firstly
to analyze the performance in a more clear and explicit.
|
How it works? |
1. Go on track for your session |
2. Download the data acquired |
|
|
3. Import the data in Motorbike Analysis |
4. Obtain the informations for an optimal SET-UP |
|

Results
Thanks to the calculations made by the Motorbike Analysis
software, the analysis of the data collected from the acquisition
will be much easier and more complete. In fact, thanks to the
calculations made, the software allows you to immediately have that
information to understand where the problems are and then direct the
interventions set-up in the optimal direction.
SLIP ANGLE ANALYSIS - UNDERSTEER - OVERSTEER
The software in the first place calculates the behavior of the motorbike in
every point on the track clearly showing where there are problems
of understeer and where of oversteer
The software shows
directly on the track the criticalities emerged then
immediately you can have a picture of the situation,
useful also to compare it with the feeling reported by the
rider.
It also calculates average, what is the situation in the
different driving phases:
braking - entry corner
exit corner - acceleration
globally
|
|
Already from this first result it is clear that thanks to Racing
Bike Analysis software will have an immediate answer on where are
and what are the problems that limit the performance.
This is even more important when comparing the
results of two runs performed with different set-up in fact it is
immediate to see how the changes made have influenced the
motorbike behavior in the different points of the track.
|
|
As you can see in this
example, thanks to the software, it is immediately clear how
the changes made to the set-up used in Run 2 have
allowed to reduce understeer at some points in the
track and this is essential to orientate the
subsequent interventions. |
TIRES ANALYSIS
Another fundamental aspect in competitions is to understand
the features of the tires and how
them are working, the software thanks to its calculations
allows you to have a complete picture also for this aspect.
For first the software calculates the front and rear global
adherence coefficient longitudinal and lateral grips that the tires
were able to offer in the lap. You can therefore see the adherence
level that the tire compound and the ground condition have allowed
to obtain. The software calculates then the maximum values of grip
obtained in the lap and thanks to these shows how the rider has been
able to exploit the grip, both in the braking and acceleration
phase, both on corner.
This analysis is then very important, both to evaluate the operation
of the tires ADHERENCE LEVEL, both to understand the feeling of the
rider and the set-up quality ADHERENCE EXPLOITATION
|
|
|
From the processing of the acquired data, the software
Motorbike Analysis thanks to its calculation model succeedes
to calculate slip angle and slip ratio of the tires in each
point of the track, so will be possible to analyze
understeer and oversteer that the rider must face in
function of the setup and of the driving style. |
Furthermore, by comparing the results of two riders, it
allows you to see how each rider is able to take advantage
of the tire, and consequently whether he must work or not on
his style, or on the setup, to get the most from the tire. |
CALCULATION TEMPERATURE TIRES
Another fundamental aspect
to get the maximum grip performance is the management
of the tire temperatures, for this the Motorbike Analysis software in function of the acquired data and of the dynamic calculation, calculates the trend
of the tire temperature during the lap and how it grows
during the laps . This is crucial both in the analysis phase for
understand how the tires are working at every point of the track,
both when you want to compare different set-up to see how
these affect the temperature of the tires. |
|
|
The software calculates how the tire temperature changes
in the central area, on the right side and on the left side ,
this can be very useful even for the rider to understand
the possible points of the track where the tire tends to
cool and goes out of working area,
or where it tends to overheat and therefore needs to do careful for not burn it excessively. |
LINE ANALYSIS
Another very important calculation that the Racing Bike software
Analysis performs processing the acquired data is the line that
it is traveled. Thanks to special filtering algorithms comes
calculated the radius of curvature and this is fundamental to understand
how the rider is driving, in fact from the analysis of the radius of
curvature it is possible to see in which corners the rider is in
difficulty, and where his guide is not clean.
|
In the example we clearly see how thanks to this
calculation is easy to identify the curves where the rider has
had difficulty (yellow circle), compared to where it took
the apex point without problems (green circle) |
CALCULATION BEHAVIOR OF THE SUSPENSIONS and MOTORCYCLE BALANCE (version PRO)
In addition to the dynamic calculation of the motorbike, the
software Motorbike Analysis calculates the behavior of the suspension in
each point of the track , and shows how this translates
on the balance of the motorbike, in fact in addition to see how work
fork, shock absorber and swingarm, allows to analyze
weight distribution, wheelbase and height of the center of gravity.
This calculation is very important because it allows you to see how
the weight distribution between front and rear changes at each point
of the track, depending on how the rider is driving, and depending
on the suspension setup. In fact the suspension behavior is closely
linked to the rider's driving style, so the only way to evaluate a
setup is to tie it to the specific driving style.
The software then uses the rider's driving style to assess how the
performance changes based on the suspension setup being used.
|
|
|
The software in fact
calculates how the available load changes at the front and
rear due to the presence of the suspensions and the setup
used. Thanks to this, it simulates the speed you could have
when braking, turning and acceleration, due to the different
load generated by the suspension setup, and the relative lap
time. It will therefore be easy to compare the different
setups and understand what can be effective for the specific
driving style of the rider.

OTHERS RESULTS
What has been shown above is only a part of what is calculated by the software, in fact Motorbike Analysis allows you to exploit the acquired data to make a complete analysis of how the motorbike behaved in all its aspects , below we show you an overview of all the areas of analysis calculated, which in addition to the summary can then be analyzed in specific charts to see the value
of the different quantities at each point of the tracks |
|
|
CALCULATION TORQUE AND POWER FROM ACQUIRED DATA
Together with the dynamic and
suspension calculation, the software Motorbike Analysis
performs also a precise calculation of the torque and power
chart, using the data acquired from your acquisition system. |
|
As you have seen from this short description the Motorbike Analysis software
is a fundamental tool to be able to take advantage in a manner really productive of the data acquired from the acquisition of the
motorbike. The technicians and track engineers of a team thank the use of
this software can have a big help in the
work , in fact the data and information calculated by the
software allow you to have clear and complete indications on how
the motorbike and the tires have behaved in all its aspects , and
then take the optimal decisions to improve the set-up of the
motorbike will be much simpler and more effective.
