• Ideal urban mobility

• Small space requirements

• Smart combination of

leisure and commuting

• Favourable ecological

footprint

Motorcycles have great potential

Benefit: Valuable contribution to future mobility

• Make motorcycle riding safer

• Make motorcycles part of future mobility

(C-ITS: Cooperative Intelligent Transport System)

Mission

CMC Objectives

14 March 2019

• Joining forces, creating a common approach for motorcycle ITS

• Creating a common basic specification for components

• Having motorcycles integrated into global future ITS strategies

How

• CMC is a non-profit-organisation (and no funding project)

• CMC has a global focus: international representations,

meetings, activities

• Technical expertise is required

• No development of series components /

no common development or bundled purchasing

• Final results of the project will be published

• Day 1.5: Information with basic function & simple requirements

for left turn and intersection

Motorcycle Approach Indication (MAI)

Page 1624 May, 2018

Information Function

• Basic Beaconing

• Pre-Information for driver

Information Function

• Basic Beaconing

• Pre-Information for driver

Car & motorcycle distance will be

calculated.

If below a critical threshold:

Both drivers are informed.

If the car driver reacts

(e.g. with throttle or brake):

information will be canceled.

The scenario is considered until

both passed the intersection

safely.

Information Function

• Basic Beaconing

• Pre-Information for driver

!

• Day 2: Fully developed safety applications to go beyond

information stage

Motorcycle Approach Warning (MAW)

Page 1724 May, 2018

Sophisticated safety function

• Higher requirements

• Warns only when critical

Warnings are sent only in

case of potential collision.

Car and motorcycle calculate

the “time to collision” (TTC);

If below a critical threshold,

both drivers will be warned

via their HMI.

If the car driver reacts

appropriately, both warnings

will be cancelled.
