Preventive Safety: Warning System for Control Loss of Two-Wheeled Vehicles

The present study aims at identifying existing and emerging Intelligent Transport System (ITS) that have the possibility to enhance the safety of motorcycle rider. A review of the literature revealed that very few commercially available ITS currently exist specifically for motorcycles, although several emerging technologies were identified. Consultations with international experts in ITS, motorcycle safety, motorcycle manufacturers and various road safety research organizations confirmed this report. However, there are emerging and existing technologies for other vehicles that have the potential to address key motorcycle safety issues. In spite of the emergence of active and passive safety, these systems in most cases do not avoid the accident. The purpose of this paper is to provide assistance to the rider by incorporating a warning system for accident situations, which can alert the driver sufficiently in advance so that he can anticipate the accident.
