Abstract. The current problems and demands regarding the safe driving of single-track vehicles are presented in this paper. The influence of motorcycle vibration processes on driver safety is emphasized, both in on road and off-road conditions. In order to investigate vibration processes from the point of view both comfort and safety, a simulation model was created. The presented research results indicate a complex interaction of motorcycles and riders in terms of achieving the stable motion of the system and thus obtaining the appropriate safety level in traffic conditions. The presented results indicate the need for seeking a compromise solution in the phases of design, construction and motorcycles use i.e. adjusting its constructive and exploitation characteristics (load mass distribution, tire selection, the maintenance of required technical conditions).
Key Words: motorcycle, vibration, driver safety
UTICAJ VIBRACIONIH PROCESA MOTOCIKLA NA BEZBEDNOST VOZAČA
U ovom radu predstavljeni su aktuelni problemi i zahtevi koji se odnose na sigurnu vožnju vozila dvotočkaša. Istaknut je uticaj vibracionih procesa motocikla na bezbednsot vozača, kako u uslovima na putu, tako i van puta. Kako bi se proces vibracija ispitao i sa aspekta udobnosti kao i sa aspekta bezbednosti formiran je simulacioni model. Prikazani rezultati ispitivanja ističu kompleksnu interakciju između motocikla i vozača, u smislu postizanja stabilnog kretanja ovog sistema, a samim tim i postizanje odgovarajućeg nivoa bezbednosti u saobraćaju. Prikazani rezultati ukazuju na potrebu za traženjem kompromisnog rešenja u fazama projektovanja, izrade i upotrebe motocikala, odnosno podešavanjem njegovih konstruktivnih i eksploatacionih karakteristika (raspodela opterećenja masa, izbor pneumatika, održavanje potrebnih tehničkih uslova).
Ključne reči: motocikl, vibracije, bebednost vozača
