Situations that are considered risky by PTW’s Sample Clauses

Situations that are considered risky by PTW’s. Finally, we will use outputs from Deliverable 21 of 2BESAFE to complete the previous finding with riders’ own point of view. Risky events defined in Cognitive Work Analysis Report Motorcycle riders with many years of accumulated riding experience are experts and have valuable knowledge, skills and experience that can be drawn on to support the design of countermeasures to prevent accidents and injury (Xxxxx et al., 2009). In Deliverable 21 of the 2BESAFE project (“Using Cognitive Work Analysis to Derive Recommendations for Improving Motorcycle and Scooter Rider Safety”) a technique called Cognitive Work Analysis (CWA) was used to illicit this knowledge from motorcycle riders. In a series of interviews, 31 riders were interviewed, alone or in pairs, in 3 countries: France (Paris), Austria (Vienna) and Australia. CWA was used to develop and structure the questions asked during the interviews, and to analyse the information derived from them. The findings from the CWA are useful for WP2.2, in that they provide self-reported information about events that riders find risky when riding their powered two wheelers. These events can become points of focus in the naturalistic riding study to understand how the events arise, and how motorcycle riders attempt (successfully or unsuccessfully) to manage them. From the CWA, the following events were identified by riders as key risks (Xxxxx et al., p 71): • Cars stopping in front unexpectedly (e.g. around Police cameras) • Cars entering rider’s lane unexpectedly • Vehicles tailgating behind • Falling off their PTW • Cars ahead slowing suddenly in bends • Wind from large vehicles (eg trucks) passing them quickly • Vehicles passing too close • Vehicles cutting corners • Vehicles suddenly turning left or right in front of them • Vehicles not using turn signals when they should • Vehicles not stopping at intersections when they should • Doors opening from parked cars on narrow streets • Drivers using mobile phones • Drivers not looking to their sides • Burning cigarette butts thrown out of cars • Animals on country roads (e.g. deer) • Insect caught inside rider’s helmet Situations perceived as risky from the PTW rider’s point of view. The findings from the Cognitive Work Analysis (CWA) performed in WP5.5 of the 2BESAFE project also provide self-reported information about situations that riders find risky when riding their powered two wheelers. From the CWA, various situations were identified by riders as risky. These are summ...
