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 2 – Warning in critical situations & Higher requirements

Information Function

• Basic Beaconing

• Pre-Information for driver

Sophisticated safety Function

• Higher requirements

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

Triggering Conditions based on cars BUT....

Motorcycles behave different than cars

Use case: Traffic Jam

Requirement: …indicate a velocity less than or equal to 30 km/h of at least five other 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

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
