1 FULL THROTTLE ANALYTICS GET TO GRIPS WITH AI AND IOT TRADITIONAL MOTORBIKES ARE SO-LAST-YEAR DUCATI CORSE BUILDS A MOTOGP RACING BIKE WITH FULL THROTTLE THINKING

2 OVERVIEW DUCATI CORSE IS THE RACING DEPARTMENT OF DUCATI MOTOR HOLDING, THE ITALY-BASED WORLD LEADER IN SPORTS MOTORCYCLE MANUFACTURING WHICH BLENDS EXCLUSIVE ITALIAN DESIGN, DISTINCTIVE FEATURES AND SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE. Ducati Corse, the racing department of Ducati Motor Holding, needed a faster, simpler and more accurate way to pinpoint the best bike configuration possible for every race. We developed an innovative application that uses Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies to simulate bike performance based on a number of track and weather conditions. As a result, the Ducati Team is able to make more intelligent decisions on how to race and leave the competition safely behind. 2 DUCATI CORSE BUILDS A MOTOGP RACING BIKE WITH A NEW APTITUDE

3 #MWC17 IOT ANALYTICS AT SPEED THE STORY THE DUCATI TEAM WANTED TO MAKE ITS BIKE CONFIGURATION TESTING MORE EFFICIENT AND INSIGHTFUL WHILE ALSO REDUCING THE TIME, COST AND EFFORT INVOLVED. BUSINESS CHALLENGE For every race, a motorbike racing team must configure each of its bikes to maximize performance given the conditions on the day. This requires exhaustive on-track testing of different set-up configurations at different tracks and in the most varied of weather conditions. The Ducati Team wanted to make its bike configuration testing more efficient and insightful while also reducing the time, cost and effort involved.

Artificial Intelligence is then applied to the racing performance KPIs and past test data to identify the optimal bike set-up configuration, using advanced algorithms working on the data patterns from the different sensors, machine learning and applying clustering and regression algorithms. IoT Bike sensors, ranging from 40 to 100 depending on the bike, collect a vast array of data points speed, engine running parameters, revs, tire and brake temperatures, and more as well as track key performance indicators (KPIs) including acceleration, oscillation, vibration and grip. 4 DUCATI CORSE BUILDS A MOTOGP RACING BIKE WITH A NEW APTITUDE

5 #MWC17 IOT ANALYTICS AT SPEED DUCATI S BIKE SENSORS FROM TO RESULTS Today, the Ducati Team is using the intelligence from the Accenture Analytics solution to plan, prepare and test for MotoGP races. To date, around 4,000 sectors of race tracks and 20 different racing scenarios have been analyzed, with a wider roll-out of the solution expected. This has transformed how the team set up a bike for every race and has dramatically reduced the time required. Machine learning will create a bike that intuitively optimizes its own performance based on conditions and becomes an even greater rival in MotoGP racing; now that s analytics at full throttle. 4,000 SECTORS OF RACE TRACKS 20 DIFFERENT RACING SCENARIOS

7 #MWC17 IOT ANALYTICS AT SPEED THERE ARE 18 MOTOGP TRACKS, AND TO MAKE SURE OUR BIKES PERFORM TO THEIR LIMIT, WE NEED TO TEST AS MANY CONFIGURATIONS AND SCENARIOS AS POSSIBLE, SAID LUIGI DALL IGNA, DUCATI CORSE GENERAL MANAGER. SO FAR, WE VE SEEN EXCELLENT RESULTS IN THE LAB WITH THE ACCENTURE SOLUTION. THE ABILITY TO USE EXISTING AND NEW TESTING DATA WILL HELP US CHOOSE THE OPTIMAL CONFIGURATION FOR OUR BIKES. THIS INNOVATIVE TOOL WILL MAKE OUR TESTING A MORE INTELLIGENT PROCESS, HELPING US GET THE BEST PERFORMANCE FROM OUR BIKES, WHATEVER THE WEATHER OR THE TRACK.
