Revised OMS: a software package for the minimum-time optimal-control simulation of motorcycles

A new commercial software package for the minimum-time optimal-control simulation of motorcycles, named OMS (Optimal Maneuver Simulation), is presented. OMS integrates a set of tried-and-tested components (vehicle and road models, solver) in a single software package that allows a team new to minimum-time simulation to kick-start this activity. A typical use case of OMS is performing a sensitivity analysis on some vehicle parameters to assess the effect of different vehicle configurations on the lap-time performance on a given track.
