Study Seminar: Human-Machine Interaction in Motorcycle Grand Prix Racing

Human-Machine Interaction in Motorcycle Grand Prix Racing: an introductory overview of the underlying physiology, ergonomics, and safety challenges

🗓️ Saturday, October 19th, 3 p.m.

📍 Online via MS Teams and in-person at Motor Valley Accelerator, Modena

MUNER invites students, alumni, and professionals to attend a study seminar led by Dr. Luigi Yuri Di Marco, an expert in biomedical engineering, for an introductory overview of the human-machine interaction in motorcycle Grand Prix racing. The seminar will cover the main physiological processes involved in Grand Prix racing (Moto3, Moto2, MotoGP), the ergonomics of racing motorcycles and current safety challenges.

High-speed racing exposes riders to major physical stressors. Despite significant advances in rider training and in motorcycle and racetrack safety, the physiological response to high-speed racing remains poorly understood. Dr. Di Marco will discuss how understanding these factors could increase our ability to prevent or mitigate injuries as well as long-term medical conditions, and ultimately improve safety

The seminar will conclude with remarks by Enrico Al Mureden, professor of “Product Safety, Product Liability and Automotive” at UNIMORE.
