Book Description
"The popularity of motorcycling in South Australia is increasing and there have been continual increases in registrations and increases in total distance travelled by riders. However, motorcyclists remain vulnerable road users and are at an increased risk of being involved in a serious crash. In 2012, motorcycle crashes were 17.5 times more likely to result in a fatality relative to other vehicles, per distance travelled. There have been considerable improvements to passenger vehicle safety over the last few decades but little has changed regarding safety for motorcycles. This report describes the relatively new technologies of anti-lock braking systems (ABS), combined braking systems (CBS) and traction control systems (TCS) for motorcycles, and the effectiveness of these systems in reducing motorcycle crashes. Mechanisms to encourage uptake of these technologies are also presented. ABS appears to be the most beneficial of these technologies and an analysis of ABS is included, estimating the potential benefit of the technology on South Australian motorcyclists." -- Abstract.

Book Description
Riding motorcycles is fun, but author Ken Condon maintains that there is a state of consciousness to be achieved beyond the simple pleasure of riding down the road. Riding in the Zone helps riders find that state of being. It's the experience of being physically and mentally present in the moment, where every sense is sharply attuned to the ride. Your mind becomes silent to the chatter of daily life, and everyday problems seem to dissolve. You feel a deeper appreciation for life. Your body responds to this state of being with precise, fluid movements, you feel in balance, your muscles are relaxed, and it seems as though every input you make is an expression of mastery. This is "the Zone." Condon identifies all of the factors that affect entering the Zone and addresses each one individually, from the development of awareness and mental skills to mastering physical control of the motorcycle. At the end of each chapter are drills designed to transform the book's ideas into solid, practical riding skills. Riding in the Zone takes riders to the next level in their skill set.

Book Description
"The following presents a holistic approach for the design of safer interactions between motorcyclists and car drivers operating public roads. Several factors appear to influence the way motorcycles are perceived which has played a significant role for their development. Although motorcycles themselves are mechanically stable machines their use in mixed traffic environments can be highly dangerous as a motorcyclist’s inherent degree of conspicuity leaves them unseen by Other Vehicle operators. There are many factors that can have implications on a motorcyclist’s safety; those being a rider’s conspicuity on public roadways, the rider’s ability and confidence level, the size of the machine, the amount of traffic on the road, as well as emerging technologies deployed into the US public roadway model. A better understanding of the necessary design considerations for motorcycle rider safety manifested through a system of products that attempt to make the road a safer place for motorcyclists. Motorcyclists represent a small component of a greater traffic paradigm. Motorcycle capabilities fail to be fully understood by car drivers, placing them in an inherently vulnerable position. By examining how car drivers perceive motorcycles it is suggested that a system be designed that minimizes the risk of accidents involving motorcyclists, while also mitigating the severity of their injuries. This system manifested as a light that mounts to the underside of a motorcyclist’s helmet to be used as an autonomous means to communicate with OV drivers. The system functions during two high risk scenarios; when a car approaches a motorcyclist from the rear and when a car enters the left lane of a motorcyclist. While the device remains untested in real traffic environments its concept questions the realities of US public roadway environments and posits an alternate direction for rider and OV operator safety on future public roadways. This problem served as a case study for challenging current safety protocols and design methods for solving complex problems."--Abstract.
