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.
