      <title>PERFORMANCE OF CRASH HELMETS IN NEW SOUTH WALES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/66169</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The basis for the Australian standard for helmets for vehicle users is reviewed and the test method for impact energy attenuation is described.  Energy test results for helmets sold in New South Wales in the period 1971 to 1976 are reported.  Comparisons are made between manufacturers' claims and test results, and values for head injury criterion and severity index are reported.  /Author/ /TRRL/]]></description>

      <title>APPROACHES TO TRAINING SUGGESTED BY A QUESTIONNAIRE SURVEY OF MOTORCYCLISTS</title>

      <description><![CDATA[This paper outlines a mail questionnaire survey which was carried out primarily to assess the level of pre-licence riding experience among learner permit motorcyclists in Victoria. Attitudes to motorcycle training were also surveyed.  /Author/ /TRRL/]]></description>

      <title>EVALUATION OF THE GRADED MOTORCYCLE LICENCE SCHEME IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/66171</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The paper describes an evaluative study made of the motorcycle graded licence scheme introduced in Western Australia in March 1973.  Both the before and after groups had in excess of 2500 subjects each.  The experimental design also incorporated a number of comparisons to enable any differences between the before and after periods, or the groups of subjects being compared, to be detected.  The before and after groups did not differ significantly with respect to any motorcycle accident variable included in the results analysis.  A number of differences were found to exist between the two periods. However, these were of a minor nature and did not affect the conclusion of the study. It was concluded that the introduction of the graded licence scheme did not effect a reduction in the incidence of motorcycle accidents in western australia.  /Author/ /TRRL/]]></description>

      <title>USER ISSUES IN MOTORCYCLE SAFETY</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/66172</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The revitalised growth in motorcycle use throughout the world has been stimulated by fuel shortages, by the leisure aspects of motorised sport, by increasing city congestion, and by the increasingly rapid decline of public transport service levels.  Official attention to the consequences and causes of this growth has been attracted mainly by the negative aspect of rising gross casualty figures, and has yet to be balanced by an equal amount of effort to appraise economic, resource utilisation, and mobility factors to form a balanced policy.  This paper outlines a wider content for the appraisal of motorcycle safety by taking a systems standpoint to identify area of information lack and to trace some of these through from the viewpoint of the motorcycle user /TRRL/]]></description>

      <title>IMPORTANCE OF MOTORCYCLE VISIBILITY IN ACCIDENT CAUSATION</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/66173</link>
      <description><![CDATA[An analysis of data from 1508 motorcycle accidents obtained from Victorian police files for the year 1974 indicates that the lack of visibility of the motorcycle is a dominant factor in a large proportion of automobile/motorcycle accidents.  16.2 percent of all motorcycle accidents occurred when another road user moved his vehicle into the path of a motorcycle when he "did not see" the oncoming motorcycle.  65 percent of these accidents occurred during daylight, 27 percent at night and 8 percent during dawn or dusk.  /Author/ /TRRL/]]></description>

      <title>STUDY OF MOTORCYCLE CRASHES</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/66174</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The past few years have seen a boom in motorcycling in Australia.  The rapid increase in numbers of motorcycles has been accompanied by a rise in the number of crashes involving these vehicles and in the number of casualties. A large number of proposals have been put forward for dealing with motorcycle crashes.  Some of the countermeasures are well documented as being effective in reducing crash losses. Other countermeasures are believed by many to be effective, although in many cases there is little hard evidence to support such beliefs.  This paper describes the extent of and trends in the problem of motorcycle crashes.  A special study of motorcycle crashes is described and some preliminary results from the study used to test countermeasure hypotheses.  Future applications of these data are also mentioned.  /Author/TRRL/]]></description>

      <title>AGE, EXPERIENCE AND MOTORCYCLE ENGINE CAPACITY IN MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENTS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/66175</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The high level of involvement in motorcycle accidents of young riders, inexperienced riders and motorcycles with high engine capacity has been recognised for some time. Little is known, however of the interaction between these factors or of their relative importance when exposure to risk is taken into account.  A study based on south Australian data was undertaken late in 1973 to provide information on these isses.  It compared a number of characteristics of a sample of motorcycles, and their usual riders, involved in accidents with those for a sample not involved in accidents in the year ending 31 March 1973. The present paper is based on a re-analysis of the data collected.  High accident probabilities were found for motorcycles with engine capacities above 250 cc, for riders aged 25 years or less and for riders with less than two years riding experience. The highest accident probabilities were found for motorcycles above 250 cc usually ridden by young, inexperienced riders.  The implications of these findings for the licensing of motorcyclists are discussed. /Author/ 222982.]]></description>
