During the running of the motorcycle, the driver changes the barycentre by adjusting the riding posture, thereby controlling the posture and direction of the vehicle. In the motorcycle simulator, it is necessary to reproduce this control method. This paper proposes a method to detect the driver's barycentre offset, which can be used for the simulation control of the motorcycle simulator. A camera sensor is installed at the rear of the motorcycle simulator to capture real-time images of the driver's back. The image of the target area is identified firstly, and the target area image is tracked by the Canshift tracking algorithm and the Kalman filter. Driver's barycentre positional shift is simulated by the centroid positional shift of the target region. The vehicle dynamics system controls the vehicle's direction of travel and body attitude based on its calculated steering angle. This method has been verified by experiments and achieved good results.
