The roles of motorcyclists and car drivers in conspicuity-related motorcycle crashes.

This report gives an overview of the available research on the different factors of influence on the perception of motorcycles. It also presents analyses of Dutch motorcycle crashes which provide a description of the relative occurrence of car-motorcycle crashes in the Netherlands. Finally, this report discusses possible measures that could help improve motorcycle conspicuity. This report may be accessed by Internet users at: http://www.swov.nl/rapport/R-2011-25.pdf
