Abstract:

The objective of this research project was to develop a statewide plan to reduce motorcycle crashes and ; injuries in the state of Texas. The project included a review of published literature on current and proposed ; countermeasures for reducing the incidence and/or severity of motorcycle-involved crashes and related ; injuries, a review of existing and emerging Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) and other advanced ; technologies for motorcycles and other vehicles, an analysis of Texas motorcycle crash and injury data, and a ; statewide survey of Texas motorcycle riders that explored the demographics, riding histories, training and ; licensing status, use of protective gear, crash involvement, and attitudes toward various motorcycle safety ; countermeasures. These data collection activities culminated in a list of potential motorcycle crash and ; injury countermeasures; these countermeasures were then evaluated and prioritized in a workshop attended ; by motorcycle safety experts and advocates.
