== Abstract ==

​

In France, powered two-wheelers (PTWs) account for 18% of fatal accidents, and PTW riders are 27 times more<br> likely to be killed than car drivers. More than one-third (40%) of these fatal accidents occur at bends on intercity<br> roads. Based on this observation, a prototype vehicle embodying the full range of intrinsic and extrinsic parameters<br> was developed in order to analyse rider behaviour. The Rider Behaviour Analysis Motorcycle (Moto d’Analyse du<br> Comportement du Conducteur, MACC) was used to analyse speed and lateral acceleration, capture videos and<br> measure vehicle dynamics and trajectories. The findings revealed certain practices that had never previously been<br> quantified. Alongside this behavioural study, we will also highlight some key accident research statistics associated<br> with PTWs at bends on intercity roads.
