MOTA
(Motorcycle
Operator Training Assessor) is a new training/testing system
developed for motorcycle training.
This is
a joint development project carried out by Temporal Images and
DVExperts International.
The development of this system has been under way since 2005.
A
pre-production version of the system was recently presented at the
FIM
ERTS 2007 Symposium held in Frankfurt from the 29th of May to
the 1st June 2007.

MOTA
is a development of the current testing procedure used in
Victoria. It implements a similar approach to rider competence
by checking a rider's ability to execute braking, swerve and
cornering manoeuvres. |
MOTA
employs a self-contained sensor package mounted on the
motorcycle, a light control box and a Tablet PC running custom
application software to substantially automate the testing
procedure.
|
|
|
In
operation, an automated and randomly selected sequence of 7
test manoeuvres must be executed by the trainee. Each
manoeuvre is processed and assigned a pass or fail. |
Processing
of the tests is performed without any operator input in order
that the results are unbiased. A summary document is generated
outlining the results for all the tests performed.
