    IR-PERPUSTAKAAN UNIVERSITAS AIRLANGGA CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of The Study Motorcycle is one of the vehicles rapidly developed, which users are getting higher. The motorcycle’s history was beginning in the late 19th century. This kind of vehicle is the next step of the “safety bicycle” which is the bicycle that have the same size wheel. The first invented motorcycle is a very simple concept. At that time, the engineers have an idea to combine a motorized machine to the bicycle frame. After the century changed to the 20th century, the innovation in motorcycle manufacturing began to spring, start from the frame, engines, shape of the body and added the fuel tank and gearboxes to the engines. However, at that time, the shape of the motorcycle still similar to the bicycle complete with the pedal itself. After 1920 or during the World War 1, the shape of motorcycle started to evolve, no longer with a bicycle-like shape and innovation in the engine continues with the large engine capacity or the number of cylinders. With the increasing number of years, many motorcycle brands have begun to emerge starting from Europe (German, British, and Italy) and America then continued to Japan and innovations on the development of motorbikes continued until now (Hunt, et al. 2015). The sales number of motorcycles is absolutely fluctuating. Nevertheless, the trend of this vehicle is also increasing time by time. The motorcycle more famous after the first motorcycle race was held and all the racer that join in the championship was a man.

  • An In-Depth Investigation Into Paediatric Motorcycle and Off-Road
    IRC-16-101 IRCOBI Conference 2016 An In‐Depth Investigation into Paediatric Motorcycle and Off‐Road Vehicle Crashes Christopher S Mulligan, Marijke Oomens, Bianca Albanese, Susan Adams, Julie Brown Abstract We are conducting a prospective in‐depth review of children aged 16 years and under who are admitted to any one of the three paediatric hospitals in the state of New South Wales, Australia, due to injuries caused by a crash on a powered off‐road vehicle or motorcycle. We aim to characterise crash circumstances, injury patterns and severity in order to identify priority targets for the development of injury prevention countermeasures. In this ongoing study, we have analysed 25 crashes, involving 22 males and 3 females between the ages of 4 and 16 years of age. Most riders were injured on purpose built off‐road motorcycles or quad bikes in the course of recreational riding or farm duties. Most crashes (n=19) occurred as a result of loss of control of the vehicle. A range of injuries to all body regions were observed. Injury severity varied, including 13 with minor injuries (Injury Severity Score (ISS) between 1‐9), 6 with moderate injuries (ISS 10‐15), 2 with severe injuries (ISS 16‐24) and 4 with critical injuries (ISS 25 or greater). Keywords motorcycle, off‐road vehicle, paediatric, quad bike I. INTRODUCTION Injury from trauma is the leading cause of death and injury among Australian children [1]. Injuries from the use of powered two, three and four‐wheeled vehicles are an important cause of injury in children. In Australia, and other developed countries, the majority of these incidents occur off‐road [2‐5].

At Round 1 in Qatar, he finished in 14th place, taking his first premier-class championship points and getting his rookie season off to a solid start. It’s spring, which means the 2018 motorsports season has finally begun. Yamaha’s riders and teams are set to challenge once again for titles in road racing and motocross, from national and regional series to world championships. The riders in particular carry the weight of their fan’s expectations and fly the banner for their teams, and since they are chosen from among a wide field of prospects, they are also often seen as heroes. The scenes of them locked in on-track battles and the race victories they secure serve to create new Kando* and add greater luster to the Yamaha brand. Yamaha has been continuously active in motorsports since its founding and is constantly working to discover and develop young talent in order to pass on its racing tradition and passion to the next generation. In this issue, we introduce some of those efforts in motorcycle road racing and its pinnacle class of MotoGP. *Kando is a Japanese word for the simultaneous feelings of deep satisfaction and intense excitement that we experience when we encounter something of exceptional value.

However a child riding pillion on underbone motorcycles are not safely protected from falling down from the motorcycle apart from holding onto the adult in front. The current feature in an underbone motorcycle seat does not provide or lack the necessary protection for the child pillion riders. The current seat requires a systematic framework in order to design and develop a safety motorcycle backrest seat for Malaysian child pillion riders of underbone type motorcycles. Therefore the main objective of this paper is to propose a conceptual framework to showcase the conceptual design and development of a child friendly motorcycle seat. In order to design and develop our safety motorcycle backrest seat for child pillion riders, a leading International Automotive Consultancy’s (IAC) New Product Introduction (NPI) process and subsequent IAC Design & Development Process was adopted and adapted to be able to properly design, develop, test and produce a robust prototype seat.

  • Pedestrian-Motorcycle Collisions: Associated Risks and Issues
    MATEC Web of Conferences 90 , 01066 (2017)DOI: 10.1051/matecconf/201 79001066 AiGEV 2016 Pedestrian-motorcycle collisions: associated risks and issues Aqbal Hafeez Ariffin1,*, Azhar Hamzah1,2 , Mohd Syazwan Solah1, Noor Faradila Paiman1, Siti Fairos Mat Hussin1 and Mohd Rasid Osman1 1Vehicle Safety and Biomechanics Research Centre, Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS), Lot 125-135, Jalan TKS 1, Taman Kajang Sentral, 43000 Kajang, Selangor, Malaysia 2MIROS PC3 Crash Laboratory, KM 15 Jalan Tiang Dua, 75450 Ayer Molek, Melaka, Malaysia Abstract. From the statistics, there are serious concerns over the relatively high number of fatal motor vehicle crashes involving pedestrian- motorcycle in Malaysia. The high number of motorcycle registration on road, compounded by its popularity as the major mode of transportation in the nation, imposes safety risk to pedestrians, as well as to other road users. Data from 1,626 related road crashes of Royal Malaysia Police (RMP) for the 2009-2013 period were retrospectively collected via MIROS Road Accident Analysis and Database System (M-ROADS). The data were then analyzed via logistic regression method to determine associations between risks and injury severity in pedestrian-motorcycle collisions. The results indicate that five factors were significantly related to injury severity, which include age, location of body injury, as well as speed limit, road geometry and lighting condition of collision site. Subsequently, focus group discussions with stakeholders were also conducted to gather relevant data to identify related issues and suggestions on motorcycle safety technology with regards to collision with pedestrian. 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview of road crash statistics According to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Global status report on road safety 2015, almost half of the estimated 1.25 million deaths of the world’s roads per year are among those with least protection, i.e.
