BikeSim is a VehicleSim tool specifically designed to simulate the dynamic behavior
of motorcycles and scooters for engineers who do not have the months or years necessary
to learn to use older simulation methods.
Current version: 3.0
BikeSim shares CarSim’s core architecture-providing engineers with the power and
flexibility to dynamically evaluate virtually any two wheeled production or concept
motorcycle. BikeSim analyzes the response to the rider's inputs-steering torque,
braking, shifting, throttle, body lean, and lateral shifting of the body mass. Environmental
inputs are included-aerodynamics, road geometry and friction. By modeling and controlling
the complex interaction between the rider-machine-environment, BikeSim accurately
simulates how rider behavior affects the bike’s overall performance under the environmental
condition.
The BikeSim math model is based on a core model developed
and validated by Professors Robin Sharp, Simos Evangelou, David Limebeer, and others
at Imperial College, London using the AutoSim code generator (an earlier version
of VehicleSim Lisp) from Mechanical Simulation. The math model has been extended
to include a full powertrain, full nonlinear kinematics suspension, an enhanced
rider positioning control, several enhanced tire model options, additional degrees-of-freedoms,
and more extensions needed to provide an accurate simulation of most existing motorcycle
design concepts.
To satisfy strong demand from academia through the motorcycle and scooter manufacturers,
BikeSim breaks new ground in offering a low-cost, accurate, and easy-to-use simulation
package created specifically for the study of motorcycle dynamics.
Easy, Turn-Key Solutions
Over 100 kinds of data screens in the BikeSim data browser allow users to easily
setup the bike properties, roads, and control inputs and quickly see the animations
and graphical results. The bike and its properties are defined by parameters and
tables that are measurable by tests or available from design software. Users run
any simulated road test by just clicking a button. Our fast computational speed
is completed in about 1/10 of real time on a 3 GHz PC. Many design variations are
tested and automatically optimized using DOE software.
Extensible
BikeSim runs on Windows desktop or laptop PCs. BikeSim can run with MATLAB / Simulink
by providing an S-Function model for importing/exporting all key variables. Users
can easily include controller and actuator blocks for ABS, TCS or any new type of
sub-system. BikeSim is available inreal-time systems to test HIL or SIL
for ECU development.
