abstract = {New advanced safety assistance systems for Powered Two-Wheelers (PTW) are being developed, aiming at reducing the number of accidents and fatalities, that still make motorcyclists one of the most endangered road users. While some assistance systems intervene automatically (e.g., traction control), warning systems, such as forward collision warnings aim to trigger immediate rider reactions with their warning. Consequently, the design of the warning itself plays a major role when it comes to the assistance system’s safety potential. The comparison with elaborated warning solutions from the automotive domain is difficult, because PTWs’ Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) – same as assistance systems – are still at an early stage compared to four-wheelers’. This makes the warning design especially challenging. In addition, PTW’s geometry is far more restrictive regarding displays’ positions and sizes for widely spread visual warnings.
In this study, the acceptance, and effects of a simulated Head-Up Display (HUD) and a haptic bracelet for a hazard warning on riders’ behavior are evaluated. A participant study with N = 12 riders was conducted to investigate the effects of both HMI solutions in potential safety critical scenarios on a motorcycle riding simulator. The results have shown the general effectiveness of both HMIs for hazard warnings of PTW riders. No differences in terms of reaction time and speed reduction can be found. By analyzing the acceptance of the evaluated HMIs, a positive trend towards the haptic bracelet was observed.
This study provides input for the discussion about how newly developed HMI concepts that try to overcome the restrictions of classical head-down displays could increase the efficacy and acceptance of current and future rider assistance systems.},
