Conditions for speeding behaviour: A comparison of car drivers and powered two wheeled riders

“…Horswill and Helman's (2003) conclusion was that the influence of motorcyclists' behavior on their accident risk is small. Due to the increasing involvement of motorcyclists in road crashes (Broughton et al, 2009), we believe it is important to explore more about the different HP patterns of motorcyclists compared to those of car drivers.…”

“…That motorcycle fatalities are more frequent in rural areas may be due to greater speeds made possible by lower traffic volumes and less traffic control [21,34]. In rural areas, absence of rescue and the late arrival of rescue at the scene of accidents may also contribute to fatality [21,35].…”

“…Other studies have shown that males aged between 16 and 25 are among the most commonly involved in motorcycle fatalities [18,34,35,40,41]. Most of them have no licences [1,18] or have less than 3 years of experience [28].…”

Motorcycle fatalities in Malaysia

2012

Malaysia has the highest road fatality risk (per 100,000 population) among the ASEAN countries and more than 50% of the road accident fatalities involve motorcyclists. This study has collected and analysed data from the police, government authorities, and national and international research institutes. Only fatality data are used due to the severe underreporting of severe injuries (up to 600%) and slight injuries (up to 1400%). The analysis reveals that the highest numbers of motorcycle fatalities occur in rural locations (61%), on primary roads (62%) and on straight road sections (66%). The majority are riders (89%), 16 to 20 years old (22.5%), and 90% of the motorcycles are privately owned. Of those involved in fatal accidents, 75% of the motorcyclists wear helmets, and 35% do not have proper licences. The highest number of fatalities by type of collision is 'angular or side' (27.5%). Although fatal motorcyclist crashes mostly involve 'passenger cars' (28%), motorcyclists are responsible for 50% of the collisions either by crashing singly (25%) or with other motorcyclists (25%). While male motorcyclists predominate (94% of fatalities), female motorcyclists aged 31 to 70, possessing 'no licence', not wearing helmets and travelling during the day, account for a higher percentage than male motorcyclists. Malaysia must acquire more motorcycle exposure data and establish an injury recording system and database based on hospital-records. To reduce motorcycle fatalities, it first has to understand why young male motorcyclists are prone to fatal crashes in the evenings and on weekends on rural primary roads, especially on straight road sections.

“…Motivational studies [2,3] show that motorcyclists are a heterogeneous group of users that use this mode of transport more for the riding experience itself than as a way of satisfying mobility needs. In fact, motorcycles are highly maneuverable vehicles that provide riders with a sense of freedom and intense experience, especially perceived during cornering and accelerations [4,5].…”

Introduction Road bends of extra-urban and rural roads are known to be particularly relevant for motorcycle riding safety. For this reason a Curve Warning system has been developed for assisting the motorcyclists to safely approach bends and curves. System Description The system is organized in three layers: the first is the scenario detection that uses on-board sensors and digital maps to feed the second layer, which is the risk assessment layer. This second layer combines road geometry, motorcycle dynamics, and rider style in a holistic approach for computing a safe reference maneuver and for detecting potential dangers in the curve negotiation. The safe reference maneuver is continuously recalculated to follow the evolving scenario according to a receding horizon approach. In case of potential danger, the third layer warns the rider by a proper Human Machine Interface, leaving to the rider the vehicle control.Paper contents This paper explains the Curve Warning concept and illustrates its implementation, development, and tuning on a motorcycle prototype. The latter has been used for a pilot campaign of road tests, which demonstrated that
