MotorcycleMaker
Type
Open integration and test platform for virtual test driving. Applications: ADAS, Powertrain and Vehicle Dynamics
Functionalities
MotorcycleMaker supports various wheel carriers for front and rear axles. The platform supports different drive concepts based on shaft or chain and considers the body frame’s or wheel carrier’s bend and torsional stiffness. It allows to influence the driving stability with aerodynamic effects and offers single and dual brake architectures. Extended tire models for inclination dependency and high-fidelity or physical environment sensor models enable an even more realistic simulation and coverage of a wide range of applications.
