Determining the rider induced roll torque on dynamic motorcycle riding simulator

While undoubtedly the rider leaning input – in most cases – will not be used solely for following a given trajectory, it has a vast influence on steering forces and handling of powered two wheelers (PTW) due to the bidirectional steer-roll-coupling. Thus, to increase the immersion and rideability on a motorcycle riding simulator, the rider’s body movement is an essential input to the vehicle dynamics calculation.
