State of the Practice of Motorcycle Safety and Intelligent Transportation Systems
Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) present an array of promising ways to improve motorcycle safety. While ITS technologies have predominantly targeted automobiles and commercial vehicles, little has been done to specifically address motorcycles and motorcycle safety. This project surveyed a wide range of ITS technologies with potential relevance to motorcycles. Technologies with the highest relevance were investigated further to determine their potential to improve motorcycle safety. The project employed a two-pronged methodology in its survey of ITS technologies, consisting of (1) a comprehensive literature review and (2) interviews with stakeholders representing a cross section of the motorcycle industry and community. The synthesis of this research identified certain areas where future research efforts should focus, including: improving the availability of robust motorcycle safety data, taking advantage of possible synergies between ITS technologies, connecting vehicles to riders through better ITS interphases, evaluating the safety benefits of ITS technologies, and further researching opportunities to harmonize motorcycle ITS with connected vehicles technology.
