Sweden who conducted the largest test of Intelligent Speed Adaption (ISA) on cars over the last three years have now extended the tests to include motorcycles.
SMC our
equivalent in Sweden are involved in the project and will be keeping a watchful eye as the four motorcyclists in Borldnge take part in the two year assessment.
The project is run by the University
of Borldnge and different companies and includes cars, lorries and buses, besides the four motorcycles.
The ISA system is based in the town of Borldnge and all the main roads in the county of
Dalarna. The project being sponsored by the National Swedish Road Administration.
The aim is to see if the riders adjust the speed with ISA on the bike.
The first month their riding
behaviour will be monitored with the ISA-box mounted under the pillions.
After this first period the ISA-box will be mounted around the handlebar area.
The riders will test three different warning systems: vibrations, sound and light.
The equipment must meet the requirements of being waterproof, it must handle vibrations, it must be easy to
remove from the bike and the battery must cope with the ISA-box.
