Project summaryThe aim of the PISa project is to develop and implement "reliable and fail-safe" integrated safety systems for a range of Powered Two Wheelers (PTWs), which will greatly improve the performance and primary safety (handling and stability) and can link to secondary safety devices.
PTWs are single track vehicles, which means that the rider has a more difficult vehicle to control in relation to a car, in particular when cornering or braking, and even more so in emergency situations. Only a few (high-end) motorcycle brands are fitted with ABS and (partly) combined braking systems. Optimization of the PTW brake performance will reduce the impact speed in case an accident cannot be avoided and this will directly reduce the fatality rate and injury level. More » |

Final PISA eventFinal PISa workshop, was held on the 3rd of February, 2010 in Helmond (TheNetherlands), in conjunction with the MYMOSA workshop, on the 4th of February, 2010 in Eindhoven (The Netherlands). During the one day workshop the final results of the PISA project were presented. The event started with a short introduction into the PISA Project followed by an overview of the results achieved. The second half of the morning was reserved for demonstration purposes in the VEHIL laboratories of TNO Automotive in Helmond. The movie at the right gives a good impression of the results achieved. The movie shows the two demonstrator bikes and Dr. Richard Frampton explains the details.
