Protective systems for motorcycle riders: results from the PIONEERS project

Pre-crash braking (PCB) is a new system for the enhanced safety of motorcycle and scooter riders. In an impending collision, PCB deploys an automated braking action to slow down the vehicle prior impact.

Is automated braking feasible on powered-two wheelers? How do riders react to a sudden braking operated by the system? What is the maximum safe PCB deceleration?

This video presents the field testing activity conducted by the research team of MOVING - mobility and vehicle innovation group, Department of industrial engineering (DIEF), University of Florence.

This work is part of a project that has received funding from the
European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program
under Grant Agreement N 769054, project PIONEERS (Protective
Innovations Of New Equipment for Enhanced Rider Safety).
