Motorcycle-car multi-driver simulation. A new methodological approach towards increased powered two wheeler safety

Die vernetzte Motorrad-Pkw Simulation. Ein neuer methodischer Ansatz zur Steigerung der Verkehrssicherheit fuer motorisierte Zweiradfahrer

Especially interactions with cars and trucks bear a high risk potential for motorcyclists, e.g. if they are overlooked or if their acceleration is underestimated. Therefore it seems reasonable to not just focus on motorcycle immanent countermeasures, but broaden the research efforts towards interactions with other road users. This paper deals with the new methodology of motorcycle-car multi-driver simulation realized at the WIVW (Wuerzburger Institute for Traffic Science) GmbH. The multi-driver simulation allows deeper insight into interactions and mutual behaviour adoption of a motorcyclist and a car driver. Furthermore, it is possible to investigate and evaluate new technologies such as advanced rider assistance systems, on-bike information systems or bike2X-communication under controlled conditions and from a new point of view. In a first study it was proved that the new simulation runs stable. A second study in the Motorcycle-Car Multi-Driver Simulation will be conducted within the project UR:BAN.
