Summary

European statistics show that Powered-Two-Wheelers (PTW) road accidents are extremely high. During the last decade, ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS (ADAS) and IN-VEHICLE INFORMATION SYSTEMS (IVIS) development is one of the main research areas of the automotive industry. However, the application of such technologies in motorcycles and even clean motorbikes (electric) is currently lacking behind and should be undoubtedly studied further. Therefore the aim of SAFERIDER is to study the potential of ADAS/IVIS integration on motorcycles for riders comfort and safety. ADAS consequently become ADVANCED RIDER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS (ARAS) and IVIS become ON BIKE INFORMATION SYSTEMS (OBIS). [ more ]

ADAS become ARAS and IVIS become OBIS
The SAFERIDER consortium officially introduces the terms of "advanced rider assistance systems" (ARAS) and "on bike information systems" (OBIS). After internally using the modified terms for some while SAFERIDER members now voted for consistently using ARAS and OBIS instead of the classical terms of automotive fields "advanced driver assistance systems" (ADAS) and "in-vehicle information systems" (IVIS). The new terms describe better the special features of motorcycle assistant systems.
