E-Logs Vehicle Communications Whitepaper (Final)

V2M - Vehicle to Motorcycle
Each year 2,200 people are killed with more than 55,000 injuries involving motorcycles.
In fact, The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released
a study showing “The number of motorcyclist crash-related fatalities has more than
doubled during the past 10 years.” Generally the number of hours to complete a
crash investigation case, including collecting control data, results in an average cost
of about $7,500. The study found that “[the] most common cause of motorcycle
accidents is the failure of drivers to detect and recognize motorcycles in traffic.” The
safety of motorcyclists on our nation’s roads has become an increasing concern
among traffic safety professionals with the rising number of motorcyclist fatalities each
year. The solution is effective communication from vehicle to motorcycle.
The Future of V2M
Vehicle to Motorcycle (V2M)
It has become a top priority for E-Logs
Technology to effectively produce sustainable
safety technology which mitigates the
unnecessary tragic loss of life on all roadways
across the world.The efforts include exciting
breakthroughs such as proximity alerts which
create total awareness for all drivers. Such
technology will create a 360° visibility sphere
depicting the surrounding environment thus
ending the most common cause of motorcycle
accidents. Certain factors which weigh in on
the development of V2M communications
include type, size, and handling
characteristics of the motorcycles.
Think Suzuki GSX-R versus Harley Davidson. The types of data collected include detailed reports of
motorcycle operations and functionality. .
By implementing technology developed by E-Logs, roads will be safer for everyone, including
motorists. Autonomous features such as 360° visibility will be key in lowering motorcyclist
crash-related fatalities. E-Logs is currently researching this new technology and expects to
launch these features by 2020.
