MOTORCYCLE SAFETY, ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS, AND PERFORMANCE STUDIES. 1964-JUNE, 1980 (A BIBLIOGRAPHY WITH ABSTRACTS)

The reports cited in this bibliography primarily are concerned with motorcycle safety and pollution. These studies cover safety equipment and education, visual and visibility factors, noise, fuel consumption, engine performance, air pollution, vehicle design, tire and brake characteristics, and illuminating systems. Testing programs are described for both machines and operators, underlining impact and anthropomorphic crash data. Training programs are noted for drivers.
