Abstract:

This report presents the data and find~ings from the on-scene, in-depth ; investigations of 900 motorcycle accidents and the analysis of 3600 traffic ; accident reports of motorcycle accidents in the same study area. ; Comprehensive data were collected and synthesized for these accidents to ; cover all details of environmental, vehicle and human factors. ; In addition, exposure data were collected and analyzed at 505 accident ; sites at the same time-of-day, same day-of-week, with same environmental ; conditions. These exposure data define the population at risk so that ; comparison with accident data will reveal the factors which are overrepresented ; in the accident population. ; The analysis and review of these data identify cause factors of motorcycle ; accidents, relates the effectiveness of safety equipment and protective ; devices, and identifies countermeasures for accident and injury prevention. ; Volume I is the Technical Report containing the most significant data, ; data analysis, findings, conclusions and recommended countermeasures. ; Volume II is the Appendix with terminology, field data forms, and ; supplemental data and analysis.
