Ergonomics research program on motorcycle learning : Contributions to the development of a motorcycle simulator for training

Résumé

The risks related to powered two wheeler riding constitute a current major stake of public health in Europe. The motorcyclists' mortality, compared to the whole of road fatalities, does not stop increasing in Europe since 1996 (CARE, 2007). These worrying data lead to two reports: (1) motorcyclists constitute particularly vulnerable road users who do not follow the general trends from road safety progress; (2) there is a specificity of powered two wheeler riding compared to other forms of driving. However, in the scientific research field, the efforts to a better understanding of the specific phenomena associated with riding are still limited (Amans et al., 2005; Baldi et al., 2005). Our article presents an ergonomics research program (2007-2010) which relates to motorcycle learning in France. The main goal is to propose a hybrid curriculum which combines traditional training and motorcycle riding simulator. The first perspectives of research identified by an exploratory ethnographic work are detailed in this presentation. A cognitive ergonomics approach applied to road safety, inspired by Villame (2004), is used in this program. It consists in a longitudinal study of riders during the training process at the driving school and after obtaining their riding license. Three sets of data will be collected: a) numerical data on motorcycle dynamics (similar instrumentation to Larnaudie et al., 2006): three axes accelerationrotation, handlebar angle, wheels turns, accelerator positions, brake contact); b) continuous audio-video recordings of motorcyclists behaviour; c) verbalisation data collected from selfconfrontation interviews (Theureau, 2003), allowing to describe the rider experience. Contributions of this ergonomics work to the development of the INRETS motorcycle simulator for training are presented.
