New Riderscan survey on ITS and motorcycling safety

The Riderscan project is launching its third and last survey targeting European motorcyclists. Focusing on new technologies and powered two wheelers (PTW), the survey will feed the Riderscan report on traffic management, providing a unique opportunity to European riders to express their views on coming intelligent transport technologies.

Riderscan aims to bridge the gap between road safety authorities, researchers, and industry stakeholders by setting up a detailed survey over ITS systems in relation with motorcycling and riding activities.

The objective is to collect the views of those first impacted by the development of new technologies on motorcycles and draw a European map of rider awareness and acceptance of new technologies applied to transport systems. The survey is asking motorcyclists to evaluate willingness to test, use and buy systems, which are, for a wide majority of them, far from being introduced to the market.

The survey will last for 3 months and preliminary results will be presented at the next European Motorcyclists Forum on March 5th, 2014 in the European Parliament, Brussels.

The survey is divided into two main sections:

1.    Details of the respondent and their mobility habits: to gather information about experience and road habits in general (one page, 18 questions).
2.    About ITS applications/systems for PTW safety: to obtain opinions on applications discussed among ITS experts. This will take between 15 and 20 minutes depending on the respondent’s familiarity with the topic.
