Abstract


Motorcycle driver interacts with the vehicle through the hands, feet and buttocks. Through these parts of the body, the driver perceives vibrations due to engine and road roughness. A good level of comfort would require that handlebar and foot pegs natural frequencies should not line up with the operating range frequencies. In this paper the results of experimental tests direct to investigate the handlebar dynamic response is reported; the investigation is adopted to evaluate the possibility of adopting a vibration exciter placed in correspondence of the grips that could provide an alarm signal when a danger situation occur. This type of active assistance has already been used for cars and has proved effective in the accidents prevention.
