Motorcyclists are over-represented in collision statistics. While many collisions may be the direct fault of another road user, a considerable number of fatalities and injuries are due to the actions of the rider. While increased riding experience may improve skills, advanced training courses may be required to evoke the safest riding behaviours. The current research assessed the impact of experience and advanced training on rider behaviour using a motorcycle simulator. Novice riders, experienced riders and riders with advanced training traversed a virtual world through varying speed limits and roadways of different curvature. Speed and lane position were monitored. In a comparison of 60 mph and 40 mph zones, advanced riders rode more slowly in the 40 mph zones, and had greater variation in lane position than the other two groups. In the 60 mph zones, both advanced and experienced riders had greater lane variation than novices. Across the whole ride, novices tended to position themselves closer to the kerb. In a second analysis across four classifications of curvature (straight, slight, medium, tight) advanced and experienced riders varied their lateral position more so than novices, though advanced riders had greater variation in lane position than even experienced riders in some conditions. The results suggest that experience and advanced training lead to changes in behaviour compared to novice riders which can be interpreted as having a potentially positive impact on road safety.
摩托车手在碰撞统计数据中所占比例过高。虽然许多碰撞可能直接是其他道路使用者的过错，但相当数量的死亡和伤害是由于骑手的行为造成的。虽然增加骑行经验可以提高技能，但可能需要高级培训课程来唤起最安全的骑行行为。当前的研究使用摩托车模拟器评估了经验和高级培训对骑手行为的影响。新手骑手、经验丰富的骑手和接受过高级培训的骑手在不同限速和曲率的道路上穿越虚拟世界。监测速度和车道位置。在 60 英里/小时和 40 英里/小时区域的比较中，高级骑手在 40 英里/小时区域的行驶速度较慢，并且车道位置的变化比其他两组更大。在 60 英里/小时区域，高级和经验丰富的骑手的车道变化都比新手大。在整个骑行过程中，新手往往更靠近路缘。在对曲率的四个分类（直、微、中、紧）进行的第二次分析中，高级和经验丰富的骑手比新手更能改变他们的横向位置，尽管在某些情况下，高级骑手的车道位置变化比经验丰富的骑手还要大。研究结果表明，与新手骑手相比，经验和高级培训会导致行为发生变化，这可以被解释为对道路安全产生潜在的积极影响。
