for the presentation

MOTORBIKE ANALYSIS is a software developed to help technicians and riders in the set-up of the suspension and of the motorcycle balance. In fact allows you to exploit the data acquired by your acquisition to calculate the dynamic behavior of the motorcycle This will make it easier analyze the problems of grip and adherence and you will see how the set-up of the suspension influences the balance of the motorcycle and the tire temperatures at every point of the track. 
PRESENTATION PURCHASE INFORMATION  
Motorbike Analysis 2021 - Always Over the Top! 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?

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.

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

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.

Motorcycle Center Gravity Analysis on the lap due to the set-up of the suspension chosen Motorcycle Wheelbase modification Analysis on the lap due to the set-up of the suspension chosen

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.

Simulated speed in function of the setup suspension and of the driving style of the rider - Motorbike Analysis 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.

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.
