“…Future research attention is drawn towards road safety in motorcycle driver behaviour studies. Examples include the following: finding the effective ways to improve road safety [ 165 ], installing motorcycle-friendly roadside barriers to protect from hitting light poles and trees [ 192 ], strengthening the traffic laws and regulations along with the traffic safety education by creating awareness of road safety through different public media [ 25 , 33 , 89 , 190 ], developing simulation models [ 3 , 98 , 163 ], protecting the motorcycle driver [ 25 , 33 , 161 , 164 , 198 ] reducing accidents [ 89 , 123 , 187 , 189 , 199 ], avoiding fatal injuries [ 19 , 53 , 100 , 151 ] and increasing road safety by predicting the driving performances [ 51 , 153 , 200 ]. However, some scholars suggested developing limited warning systems to reduce accidents [ 172 ].…”

“…Other studies provided observations about analytical factors associated with traffic signal operations [ 68 , 96 , 97 ], T-intersections [ 98 ], and traffic conflicts [ 99 ]. Furthermore, other studies focused on assess the relation between traffic injuries from motorcycle accidents and the riding behaviour of motorcycle drivers [ 89 , 100 ]. Other studies examined the records of fatally injured motorcyclists and collected information associated with age, sex, death cause, and time of death relative to the time of the crash.…”

“…In another work, the steering, braking, and throttle inputs were evaluated with the use of hardware related to a commercial steering-wheel system for gaming applications [ 127 , 133 , 138 ]. Another study used an adaptive staircase for estimating the individual driver’s gap acceptance thresholds by changing the approaching vehicle’s distance [ 139 ] and using simulator sickness, PC-Crash simulation, MADYMO [ 100 , 140 , 141 , 142 ], and video scenes of the motorcycle within each driving environment. Other research focused on implementing a mobile system to monitor traffic conditions (motorcycle-mounted system) [ 143 ] and initial designs regarding a simple low-cost EDR prototype using just external sensors, such as IMU, GPS, and compass information.…”

With the continuous emergence of new technologies and the adaptation of smart systems in transportation, motorcyclist driving behaviour plays an important role in the transition towards intelligent transportation systems (ITS). Studying motorcyclist driving behaviour requires accurate models with accurate and complete datasets for better road safety and traffic management. As accuracy is needed in modelling, motorcyclist driving behaviour analyses can be performed using sensors that collect driving behaviour characteristics during real-time experiments. This review article systematically investigates the literature on motorcyclist driving behaviour to present many findings related to the issues, problems, challenges, and research gaps that have existed over the last 10 years (2011–2021). A number of digital databases (i.e., IEEE Xplore®, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and Web of Science) were searched and explored to collect reliable peer-reviewed articles. Out of the 2214 collected articles, only 174 articles formed the final set of articles used in the analysis of the motorcyclist research area. The filtration process consisted of two stages that were implemented on the collected articles. Inclusion criteria were the core of the first stage of the filtration process keeping articles only if they were a study or review written in English or were articles that mainly incorporated the driving style of motorcyclists. The second phase of the filtration process is based on more rules for article inclusion. The criteria of inclusion for the second phase of filtration examined the deployment of motorcyclist driver behaviour characterisation procedures using a real-time-based data acquisition system (DAS) or a questionnaire. The final number of articles was divided into three main groups: reviews (7/174), experimental studies (41/174), and social studies-based articles (126/174). This taxonomy of the literature was developed to group the literature into articles with similar types of experimental conditions. Recommendation topics are also presented to enable and enhance the pace of the development in this research area. Research gaps are presented by implementing a substantial analysis of the previously proposed methodologies. The analysis mainly identified the gaps in the development of data acquisition systems, model accuracy, and data types incorporated in the proposed models. Finally, research directions towards ITS are provided by exploring key topics necessary in the advancement of this research area.

“…The respondents also perceived that the bus service is safer compared to other modes of transport, especially motorcycles. This is maybe due to the high intention of young people to ride motorcycles recklessly [75] and the high rate of motorcycle accidents involving young adults in Malaysia [76]. This observation indicates that the respondents had a high awareness of road safety issues in Malaysia, showing that the safe and efficient bus service may attract more young people to use the bus.…”

Encouraging the younger generation to use public transport can revolutionise the way that citizens commute in the future; hence, municipalities must provide good public transport services to encourage their use. A free bus service was introduced in Penang, Malaysia, to support the sustainable agenda and to provide transport for low-income groups. However, the lack of ridership resulted in the service being far from achieving its target. This study assessed young adults’ perceptions of the current free bus service in Penang to design a strategy to attract them to use the free bus. In this study, six focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted with young adults aged between 18 and 25 years old studying in three different higher institutions located along the route of the free bus. The data collected were analysed using thematic analysis, in which four areas were identified—free service, reliability, information provision, and attractive service. Finally, this paper provides valuable input on initiatives to further encourage young adults to use the free bus service in Penang.

Background In Benin, some riders of two-wheeled vehicles still do not wear helmets, the main protection against head injuries in road accidents. The objective of this study is to describe the characteristics of two-wheeled users, and to determine the factors influencing helmet use among this group. Methods This is a prospective cross-sectional study of 977 two-wheeled road accident victims from a cohort. Proportions or means were calculated for the different variables. Statistical comparisons were made to test the association with helmet use. Logistic regression modelling was performed to identify factors associated with helmet use. Results Among all subjects, 81.1% [CI95% (78.5; 83.4)] wore a helmet. Factors explaining helmet use were female gender (OR = 2.8 [1.3–6.1]), purpose of trip (OR = 1.7 [1.1–2.6]), possession of health insurance (OR = 3.7 [1.3–10, 5]), having been driving for 15–20 years (OR = 2.6 [1.4–4.7]) or more than 20 years (OR = 3.4 [2.0–5.8]), good road conditions (OR = 3.1 [2.0–4.8]), and good visibility (OR = 1.9 [1.3–3.1]). Conclusion The factors influencing helmet use are gender, reason for travel, length of time as a driver, possession of health insurance, conditions, and visibility of the road on which the subject are driving. These factors are related to experience and appropriation of the notion of risk, but also related to the environment. To increase helmet use among two-wheelers, helmet awareness should take into account the individual factors found in this study. Enforcement actions should be strengthened, and the quality of the roads improved.
