HF Research: Motorcycle

The behavior and experience of motorcyclists is an under-explored area of research. We have a unique research infrastructure that allows us to better understand motorcyclist behavior and optimize the interaction between rider and motorcycle for the benefit of our customers.

 

The right test environment for every research question.

Accurate. Reliable. Effective.

The continuous technical development of motorcycles is aimed at improving both the safety and the riding experience. Research into the interaction between rider and motorcycle is becoming increasingly important. We have been at the forefront of motorcycle safety research for over a decade.

We partner with leading companies in the motorcycle industry and are dedicated to answering the questions of two-wheeler research. Our range of services covers all relevant topics, from vehicle ergonomics, rider state and training to display and operating concepts and the design of assistance systems. Thanks to our involvement in various consortia and committees such as ACEM, ifz or CMC, we are well networked and always up to date with the latest developments.

The choice of test environment depends on the specific question. Do you already have screen designs for your new motorcycle dashboard or ideas for innovative warning concepts that actively intervene in driving dynamics? The early evaluation of components without a working vehicle and safe testing in a controlled environment offers decisive advantages in many cases.

We would be happy to work with you to develop a concept for a study on one of our motorcycle riding simulators. Compact and adaptable ergonomics or maximum immersion? Our motorcycle simulators offer both. Are you interested in rider type classification or recording the ABS control frequency of normal motorcyclists? We conduct studies on our test motorcycle with full access to CAN data, map matching and 360° video, or we collect data with your motorcycle.
