It's a widely recognised trend that powered-two-wheelers' (PTWs)
use has been steadily increasing and is projected to increase
further. While providing benefits to the community in the form of
reduced traffic congestion and environmental benefits, the risks to
PTW riders remain and visibility will always be a key issue.
Increasing Motorcycle Conspicuity aims to illustrate how driving
simulation, field studies and laboratory experiments can be used to
improve rider safety through the design and evaluation of a range
of safety measures. The book outlines the factors that contribute
to PTW visibility and detection by car drivers, and presents case
studies to illustrate how the various methods can be used to
explore the contribution of these factors. The final chapter of the
book highlights the utility of a simulation-based approach to
improving PTW safety and discusses this method's future
applications. The case studies collected within the volume cover
phases of the design of conspicuity treatments and provide a broad
spectrum of empirical strategies for assessing the interventions.
The book is most directly relevant to researchers and applied
scientists from the fields of traffic/transportation psychology and
human factors, as well as to practitioners from the traffic safety
sector.
