This research utilized accident data analysis, expert opinion, a controlled laboratory simulation study and an observational field study to determine whether practical and feasible vehicle-mounted side and rear conspicuity aids could be developed for motorcycles and mopeds. Significant differences between various side and rear conspicuityenhancing treatments were found in the laboratory study that simulated their appearance in day and night, urban and rural conditions. Although the observational field study did not indicate significant driver behavioral differences in response to each treatment, a trend suggesting that a twin or triple taillamp improved rear conspicuity and that reflectorization improved side conspicuity was noted.
