motorcycle road safety simulator
understanding motorcycle vulnerability
Welcome to the home of our state-of-the-art motorcycle road safety simulator.
Motorcyclists are one of the most vulnerable road user groups – both nationally and across Devon & Cornwall. Despite making up just 1% of total traffic, motorcyclists account for almost 20% of road deaths.
In response to this issue, Vision Zero South West has worked alongside the Department for Transport’s Project Apex, National Highways and Devon & Cornwall Police to pilot the development of a hazard awareness simulator – the first-of-its-kind in the UK.
Real Bike
Simulation
Uses a Honda CB500X with authentic controls (brakes, clutch, throttle, indicators) to replicate real-road conditions.
Immersive
Environment
Surround video screens, realistic vibration, surround sound, and functioning wing mirrors create a lifelike riding experience.
Custom
Scenarios
Software allows for tailored hazard simulations, covering varied road layouts, weather, and traffic conditions.
Expert
Feedback
Real-time analysis and rider feedback provided by experienced operators, including police motorbike instructors.
12-Month
Pilot
Touring events and venues across Devon & Cornwall throughout 2024 to evaluate impact on rider hazard awareness.
