Motorcyclist's movements heavily affect the dynamics of the motorcycle and they can be very important in pre-crash maneuvers as well as during cornering or braking. Most of the control algorithms developed for motorcycles do not consider the physiological limits of the rider and this is an excessive simplification when the purpose of the simulation is to reproduce real maneuvers. Both the steering actions and the torso movement are important for riding a motorcycle, depending on many parameters. This paper focuses on the lateral movement of the rider's upper body with the aim to determine the limits in terms of acceleration and displacement; these results will be applied in the development of new virtual riders.

Abstract
Motorcyclist's movements heavily affect the dynamics of the motorcycle and they can be very important in pre-crash maneuvers as well as during cornering or braking. Most of the control algorithms developed for motorcycles do not consider the physiological limits of the rider and this is an excessive simplification when the purpose of the simulation is to reproduce real maneuvers. Both the steering actions and the torso movement are important for riding a motorcycle, depending on many parameters. This paper focuses on the lateral movement of the rider's upper body with the aim to determine the limits in terms of acceleration and displacement; these results will be applied in the development of new virtual riders.
