2 BE SAFE - Current statistics show that while the total number of road deaths is falling in European countries, the proportion of motorcycle rider fatalities is increasing. As the number of motorcycles on the road is also increasing, this suggests that motorcyclist fatalities are likely to continue to increase as well. This makes motorcycle safety an important research area.

 

INTERACTION - Information and communication technologies provide drivers with access to various functions and services which, if designed ergonomically and used appropriately, could significantly enhance driver safety, mobility, enjoyment and comfort. However, experiments have shown that systems which are poorly designed or used inappropriately can have negative side effects, such as driver distraction, lapses in attention and poor awareness of the driving situation.

 

Occlusion - In-vehicle information systems (IVIS) such as satellite navigation and communication devices can assist the driver, but there are also some negative safety issues - these include the possibility that IVIS may distract drivers, increase their workload or encourage them to engage in non-driving related tasks.
