The scope of the project viaMotorrad, funded by the VSF Austrian Road Safety Fund and by the Austrian
government, aims for a semi-automated risk assessment of roads, performed by a newly developed probe vehicle.
In a joint effort, two Austrian academic institutions, leading in motorcycle dynamics and single-track vehicle
research, have developed and instrumented a highly developed motorcycle for testing and measurement tasks
related to traffic accident research and analysis. This motorcycle probe vehicle (MoProVe) is based on a high-end
street bike, which represents the state-of-the-art in recent motorcycle technology. The vehicle was instrumented
with two independent high-performance measurement systems. Covering different areas of measurements, these
two systems complement each other, but serve as backup systems and verification tools as well. MoProVe is one
of a kind and suitable for an extensive number of studies and investigations in traffic accident research and analysis.
