scope:

Specifies the minimum requirements for research into the feasibility of protective devices fitted to motor cycles, which are intended to protect the rider in the event of a collision. Specifies minimum requirements for - paired comparison tests;- the preparation of the dummy, motor cycle, and opposing vehicle;- the repeatability and reproducibility of impact test conditions within and between tests sites;- the minimization of variation in secondary test variables;- realistic and representative impact conditions for full-scale impact tests;- a means to verify analytical evaluations of proposed rider crash protective devices fitted to motor cycles, such as computer simulation.
