Expected results

2 BE SAFE will be the first study designed and implemented at a large-scale, integrated, program of research on the behavioural and ergonomic factors that underlie PTW crashes.
The countermeasures proposed will target the most critical safety problems identified in the MAIDS project.
The implementation of the countermeasures will have the greatest impact possible in reducing road trauma for PTW riders. Specific recommendations will be made for improving PTW conspicuity, and actual technologies for improving PTW complicity will be developed and tested. The most “innovative technologies” will be six instrumented PTWs for naturalistic riding studies and two riding simulators which be used to study rider behaviour and performance in both normal and emergency riding conditions.
