Together, they provide an in-depth insight to the best way forward to bring about a safer traffic environment, not just for motorcyclists, but for everyone.

Among the expert articles featured are, Powered Two-Wheelers and Intelligent Transport Systems; Acknowledging motorcyclists in ITS co-funded research, a specific requirement; ITS developments in Europe and the inclusion of motorcycling into European policies;  The view of the Motorcycle Industry in Europe (ACEM) on ITS developments; and What do motorcyclists need?
