This sub-project seeks to reduce fatality and injury numbers related to powered two wheelers (PTWs, including mopeds) by promoting forgiving road infrastructure and motorcyclists advanced protection systems.
Specific research objectives are:
- Mapping of priority real world scenarios based on accident analysis.
- Development of a new test procedure for motorcyclist-road infrastructure interaction.
- Development of a clothing demonstrator.
- Development of concept design for innovative motorcyclist protective equipment.
- Setting up guidelines for evaluating motorcycle protective equipment.
The sub project is organized in 3 work areas: a state-of-the-art study based on real world accident data analysis, followed by work packages on motorcyclist vs. infrastructure and motorcycle protective devices.
The partners include 3 suppliers, 3 research institutes, 2 universities and 1 interest organization. The Sub Project is headed by Begoña Pérez-Magallón from CIDAUT in Spain.
