Majority of accidents:

Caused by other vehicle driver

Majority of collision partner:

Car

Majority of collision type:

Crossing and turning

Source Data based on country specific studies (USA, Europe, Japan)

50 - 70 %

OV driver causes accident

60 – 90 %

Collision partner is a car

15 – 30 %

Collisions at intersections

Day 1.5 – Information with Basic Function & Simple requirements

Information Function

• Basic Beaconing
• Pre-Information for driver

!

Motorcycle Approach Warning (MAW)

• 21. June 2017

Day 2 – Warning in critical situations & Higher requirements

Information Function

• Basic Beaconing
• Pre-Information for driver

Sophisticated safety Function

• Higher requirements
• Warnings only in critical situation

Real safety impact as Day 2 function

Intersection Violation Warning Left Turn Assistant MAW – Day 2 Requirements for PTW to be recognized Cooperation with car industry standards for car industry

• MAW is a real safety function with only warning in critical situation
• MAW huge impact on motorcycle safety as a DAY 2 function

Car Solutions will not work on Motorcycles

Taylor made ITS technology needed

Content

• Limited space
• High vibrations
• Limitation on sensing parameters

Design

• Antenna positioning
• Exposed to elements (rain, humidity, etc.)

No cabin

• Leaning in corners
• Steering by inertia
• High influence of rider

Dynamics

• Width of PTW is under 1 meter
• Vehicle movement
• Higher positioning accuracy needed

Localisation

Use case: Traffic Jam Requirement: …indicate a velocity less than or equal to 30 km/h of at least five

• ther vehicles in at most 100 m distance and the same driving

direction…

Use case: Traffic Jam

PTW can ride through traffic jam Sends „wrong“ trigger conditions – cancel traffic jam

Milestone: ACEM Memorandum of Understanding

Page 18

MoU Statement:

“…The ACEM manufacturing members agree to initiate deployment of safety-relevant cooperative ITS on PTWs* in Europe and agree to have at least one of their models available for sale with a cooperative ITS, either as standard equipment or as optional equipment, by 2020.”

Connectivity technology like C-ITS will become a major part of future mobility
