Motorcycles in a connected environment
1. Existing and future environment
2. Connected motorcycles and ARAS
3. Automated riding motorcycles
4. Conclusion
Motorcycles in a connected environment
Present situation AVs and CVs:
- V2V, V2X
- ADAS (General Safety Regulation: (EU) 2019/2144)
- AVs level 2 (although many manufacturers claim
level 3)
- Exceptions: pilots, shuttle busses, goods
robots &c.
- New developments soon to be expected:
technical and legal. UN ECE R.79
Motorcycles in a connected environment
Future situation
- Even with rapid development of EVs and
CVs, long transition period.
- Connected and automated vehicles will
share the road with other road users for a
long time, if not forever.
- Possibly seperated/dedicated roads and
lanes for AVs.
- In general: interaction between CVs/AVs
Advanced Rider Assistance Systems
Bosch/Continental:
(ARAS)
- Cornering ABS
- Motorcycle
Stability Control
(MSC)
- Adaptive Cruise
Control (ACC)
Advanced Rider Assistance Systems
Bosch/Continental:
(ARAS)
- Forward Collision
Warning
(FCW)/Emergency
Brake Assist (EBA)
- Blind Spot
Detection
(BSD)/Lane Change
Assist (LCA)
Connected motorcycles
- V2V, V2X, (IoT?)
- Connected Motorcycle Consortium:
- BMW Motorrad, Honda, KTM and
Yamaha
- All manufacturing members of ACEM
have committed to introduce at least
one of their powered two-wheeler
models equipped with C-ITS
Connected motorcycles
Connected Motorcycle Consortium:
- Motorcycle Approach Indication
(MAI)
- Motorcycle Approach Warning
(MAW)
- Intersection Movement Assist
(IMA)
- Left Turn Assist (LTA)
- Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
Connected motorcycles
- SAFE-UP H2020:
- 16 participants
- Robust and holistic solutions
- All road users, including VRUs and
motorcyclists
- SAFE-UP is proactively designing and
analysing safety-critical scenarios in a highly
automated and mixed traffic environment by
integrating traffic accident data and future
Automated driving motorcycles

1. Already exist!
2. Research projects: BMW, Honda,
Yamaha
3. No market
Automated L-category 3-4 wheeled
vehicles
1. Persons
2. Goods
3. Urban and rural
areas
Conclusions
1. Only AVs and CVs will take a very
long time
2. Motorcycles will develop further
into CVs
3. Automated MCs not to be
expected
4. But (automated) light 3- and 4-
