Objectives
MORIS is a complete Virtual reality system including a specially designed motion base simulator developed by a consortium of European Academic and industrial institutions. It is intended to be a tool for the design and development of new motorcycle prototypes. MORIS will allow motorcycle designers to test new prototypes, by means of their mathematical description, before building them. The overall system is capable of reproducing the inertial, the force, the visual and the acoustic cues that would be perceived by a driver on a real vehicle. The driver interacts with the system using the standard motorcycle commands (throttle, brakes, steer) and using his/her body lean. Body leaning allows the simulator to keep into account how the driver’s movements affect the motorcycle dynamics. The motion base system was designed from scratch achieving very high dinamic performances. The visualizzation system consists in a stereo projected wall.
Main Results
- Scientific results:
-Demonstrators A permanent demonstrator is present in the Piaggio Museum.
- Material results:
-Prototype: The prototype of the entire simulator have been realized and tested. The system was constitute by a motion base simulator (a Stewart-Platform with a motorcycle mock-up mounted on), the stereo visualization system and the 3D audio system.
- Other results
A new kind of washout filter for motion control of the simulator have been developed in order to adapt the previous control strategies to a motorcycle simulator.
