This article illustrate a novel Frontal Collision Warning system for motorcycles which has been developed in the SAFERIDER project [1] of the 7th EU FP, among other Advanced Rider Assistance Systems. The Frontal Collision Warning function (FCW) described here is based on a holistic approach, which combines road geometry, motorcycle dynamics, rider input and riding styles. The warning strategy is based on the correction of longitudinal dynamics derived from a previewed manoeuvre) continuously computed from the actual state of the vehicle. In normal driving conditions the reference manoeuvre fairly match with the rider one and no correction is necessary therefore no warning is produced. However, when large differences between actual and ideal accelerations are found the rider is warned to decelerate or brake. As soon as the correct value of deceleration is achieved the warning disappears improving the system acceptability. Warnings are given to the rider via a proper combination of haptic, visual and audio signals thanks to specific HMI device, which include an haptic handle among, a vibrating glove, a smart helmet, and a visual display.
