Abstract

The "Optimal Maneuver Method" is an application of the optimal control theory that basically simulates an ideal driver and computes the actions and the trajectory to complete a maneuver in the minimum time. As an application of this method a 125 cc motorcycle and a real race circuit, in both dry and wet conditions, have been simulated, and the validation of the results by means of a comparison with real telemetry data is discussed. Afterwards two significant quantities, the height and the longitudinal position of the centre of mass of the vehicle, have been considered. The influence of variation on the minimum lap time, in the two track conditions discussed above, is presented.
