braking and throttle. Control inputs tend to get a
rider's attention quickly, but there are other options.
" Obviously, motorcycles can be loud quite often, so I
don't know if sound's going to work. A visible warning
might be distracting to the rider, " Fatzinger offered. " I
like the haptic area - vibrate to seat, vibrate to hand
grips - and I think it would be the most effective. "
According to Ride Vision's Lavi, its extensive
human machine interface (HMI) research led them
to visual cues as the most intuitive and effective alerts.
" Visual language is simple, easy to grasp - but retains

Features such as adaptive cruise control are part of the second phase of
Bosch's " shield " motorcycle safety strategy.

the riders' focus on the road. Other alerts, such as
haptic and audio alerts resulted in inability to respond
or created too much overload/disturbance to the rider.
Having said that, " Lavi noted, " Ride Vision is working
with its OEM/Tier-1 partners - both motorcycle and
helmet manufacturers - to add more alerts to enrich
the possibilities without compromising on riders' focus
on the road. "
" Things that we're still working on, ongoing
research, [is] for sensing rider position and things of
that nature, " Bosch's Peters explained. " You could, in
theory, have sensors in the handlebars to understand
whether or not the rider currently has hands on the
bars. There's logic just by understanding if the rider's
swerving back and forth in the lane, what their intention is. It's an ongoing evolution of trying to better
predict what the rider's doing, what the vehicle's doing,
and using our innovation with logic to come up with
solutions to keep the rider safe. "
With autonomous features rapidly advancing on
the automotive side, there's no lack of technology ready
to be applied to motorcycles. The trick will be adapting
it to a bike's unique physics and controls. " It's not a
question of if, it's a question of when, " Fatzinger said of
motorcycles' ADAS future. " Manufacturers are really
pushing to the brink of ADAS, classic ADAS stuff for
motorcycles. The technology is developed. It's just a
matter of when it's going to get implemented. " ■
