Abstract: This information collection request (ICR) is to seek approval for a one-time, voluntary, and anonymous survey of motorcycle riders to obtain consumer-reported feedback and perspectives on the use and availability of advanced crash avoidance motorcycle technologies. At this time, there is no information regarding consumer use and understanding of current advanced safety technology on motorcycles. To gain perspective on U.S. motorcyclist consumers, NHTSA will survey a convenience sample of individuals who live in the U.S., are licensed to operate a motorcycle, own at least one motorcycle, and ride it at least six times a year. Beyond these eligibility requirements, respondents will not be limited by age, geographic location, income, sex, etc. We will ask survey respondents about themselves (e.g., characteristics, riding behavior), knowledge about current and proposed motorcycle technologies, as well as their willingness to use these technologies. This information collection request is for three is reporting collections: (1) an eligibility questionnaire; (2) an informed consent form; and (3) the survey questionnaire. Results from the anonymous questionnaire will be compiled into descriptive statistical summaries (numeric data) and thematic codes and narratives (text-based data from open-ended questions) and incorporated into a report will be published and available to the general public via the National Transportation Library. The results of the information collection will help NHTSA better understand consumer-based barriers and facilitators to advanced motorcycle crash avoidance technology deployment. By understanding these barriers and facilitators, NHTSA can better develop related policy and consumer education materials to improve safety through the increased uptake and safe use of advanced technologies for motorcycles. The data collection requires IRB approval and has received it.
