Abstract:
Four-wheeled vehicles are often tested on indoor, four-poster road simulator rigs. Road
loads are simulated with the use of servo-hydraulic systems for suspension set-up optimisation,
NVH analysis, and fatigue life cycles. The use of a road simulator is not such a common practice for
two-wheeled vehicles despite problems to be faced being extremely similar. The paper presents a
device for testing motorcycles on a Servotest® four-poster. A dedicated restraint system had to be
devised in order to support the motorcycle without altering its inertial characteristics. Additional
pneumatic actuators with a purposely developed instrumentation have been designed to reproduce
braking and power thrusts.
