Call to make ABS Brakes mandatory on Motorcycles under 125cc as well as Practical Tests and a Minimum Age of 16 for Mopeds

article imageETSC is calling for the European Union and European national governments to make Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS) mandatory on all new motorcycles in a new report published on the state of motorcycling safety in Europe. The report found that 3,891 people died while riding a motorcycle or moped in the EU in 2021, around 90 % of whom were men. That figure is 25 % lower than a decade earlier but, over the same period, other road deaths fell by a third.

V2X for VRU - JOYNEXT Whitepaper

article imageDespite the increasing popularity of two-wheeled vehicles such as motorcycles, bicycles and e-bikes, there is still no technology that can alert vulnerable road users (two-wheeled vehicles as well as pedestrians) and warn not only them but also all other road users in advance of dangerous situations (e.g. non-visible intersections). In the whitepaper you can learn more about V2X technology.

Test and validate Multisensor Systems efficiently with the new dSPACE Sensor Simulation PC HPP

article imageThe need for testing and the effort required for the validation of self-driving cars is continuously increasing and placing ever higher demands on the performance of simulation solutions. Accompanying development, realistic simulation of the vehicle environment and the physical sensor characteristics is an important component of the validation of ADAS/AD driving functions. dSPACE has therefore supplemented its simulation platform for realistic sensor simulation with the particularly performant Sensor Simulation (SensorSim) PC HPP.

Using Reaction Times and Accident Statistics for Safety Impact Prediction of Automated Vehicles on Road Safety of Vulnerable Road Users

article imageSWOV researchers de Zwart, Mons and Weijermars coauthored the article "Using reaction times and accident statistics for safety impact prediction of automated vehicles on road safety of vulnerable road users" in Safety Science. Among the foremost promises of using automated vehicles (AVs) in daily commute is their assumed benefit on road safety, which should offer additional safety to the most vulnerable road users (pedestrians, cyclists), as well as other vehicles.
