It is the result of the collaboration between Ducati and the MOVE research group, led by prof. Savaresi, the entry into production of the first motorcycle in the world equipped with front and rear radar technology: the new Multistrada V4.

The radar positioned in the front of the vehicle controls the operation of the adaptive cruise control (called ACC, Adaptive Cruise Control) which, by means of controlled braking and acceleration, automatically adjusts the distance from other vehicles when driving at a speed between 30 and 160 km / h.

The rear radar, on the other hand, is able to detect and signal vehicles positioned in the so-called blind spot, that is the area not visible either directly by the driver or through the rear-view mirror.

To underline the technical-scientific value of the research project, carried out jointly by Ducati engineers and researchers and undergraduates from the Politecnico di Milano, a patent application relating to the control algorithms of this system was filed in May 2017.
