Safe2Wheelers COST Action aims at improving PTW safety with a holistic and integrated approach by acquiring, unifying and coordinating PTW safety research and ensuring broad dissemination towards PTW users, industry and public authorities.
Therefore, the idea is In order to bring together international experts working in the field of motorcycle safety for a mutual knowledge exchange, Safe2Wheelers will organize a workshop focusing on Accidentology and Simulators. An overview of best practices and results from PTW accident investigations and different existing motorcycle simulators shall be given and different technical solutions as well as potential use cases will be discussed. The workshop is open to industry and other researchers outside the COST Action network so that the dissemination of latest scientific findings is ensured.

The workshop will start with a plenary session bringing Working Group 1 (PTW Accidentology) and Working Group 2 (Motorcycle Simulators) participants together. Afterwards the two focus groups will split up in separated sessions. A bus transfer to visit the motorcycle simulators at WIVW will be arranged for WG2 participants. A draft agenda for the workshop can be found here.

The 1^st workshop on the use and further development of the scenario package "Driver Fitness and Ability" took place at the WIVW on 21^st of October 2015.

The scenario package DFA and the software module "Standardized Application for Fitness to Drive Evaluations" (S.A.F.E.) are helpful tools for the integrated and fair assessment of driving performance. All participants of the workshop presented their studies in which the DFA scenario package has recently been used. In particular, the alcohol calibration study, which had been conducted in the static BASt driving simulator and has recently been published in the report M 263 "Effects of alcohol on driving a representative test course in the BASt driving simulator". The study was carried out in an analogous manner to the alcohol calibration study of the WIVW, which had been conducted in the dynamic driving simulator of the WIVW. With regard to the assessment of driving ability, the results show a high comparability of the two simulator development stages.
