Abstract

Motorcycles are overrepresented in fatal motor-vehicle accidents. In the attempt to reduce the frequency of automobile-motorcycle collisions, numerous studies have manipulated motorcycle and motoryclist characteristics to enhance conspicuity. In this paper, we review of studies that have examined the effectiveness of these measures. Furthermore, we identify factors yet to be considered in the empirical research in this area that may contribute to collisions between cars and motorcycles. These include information-processing failures at the identification and decision stage, as well as relatively stable and volatile factors potentially responsible for different information-processing failures.
