Examination of the mandatory fitting of an anti-lock brake system and a supplemental combined brake system at the choice of the manufacturer to L3e-A1 subcategory motorcycles
Publikācijas metadati
Under Regulation (EU) No 168/2013, motorcycles in the L3e-A1 subcategory must be fitted with an advanced braking system consisting of either an anti-lock braking system (ABS) or a combined braking system (CBS) or both at the discretion of the manufacturer. Article 79 of Regulation (EU) No. 168/2013 requires the European Commission to produce a report to the European Parliament and Council that notably examines the potential of making the fitment of ABS mandatory for motorcycles in subcategory L3e-A1. Motorcycle casualty data from the EU was extrapolated for the period 2022 – 2032 and indicates that over that ten-year period there are likely to be over a million collisions involving L3e-A1 motorcycles, resulting in 6,467 fatalities, 212,080 serious injuries and 838,162 slight injuries. Cases from the Road Accident In Depth Study (RAIDS) database were used to estimate the proportion of collisions that could be avoided or mitigated by the fitment of ABS to motorcycles in L3e-A1. 87 collisions involving motorcycles in L3e-A1 were reviewed of which 22 were found to have been caused completely or partially by the locking of one or both wheels. Of those, 10 were caused by the motorcycle losing control under braking or while negotiating a bend in the road. In seven cases, either the front or both wheels locked. In another four the rear wheel locked, and in the remaining 11 cases it was known that wheel locking had occurred, but it was unknown whether the front, rear or both was involved. These data were extrapolated to generate predictions for the likely consequences of mandating ABS for all new motorcycles in L3e-A1 for a ten-year period beginning in 2022. A cost benefit analysis was conducted to ascertain whether the mandating of ABS for motorcycles in L3e-A1 would be economically beneficial for the European Union. A range of scenarios were tested based on historical market data, current information about the rate of voluntary fitment of ABS, and effectiveness estimates based on the RAIDS data analysed as part of this study. In the main run of this model, which used only the RAIDS collisions in which the front or both wheels were known to have locked, the cost benefit analysis showed a benefit to cost ratio of 22.79, with a predicted saving of 1.4 billion Euros by 2032 and a predicted cost of 60.7 million Euros. A sensitivity analysis was conducted as part of the cost benefit study which showed a range of benefit to cost ratios between 18.23 and 77.12 depending on the levels of effectiveness and system cost chosen. Given the relatively low cost of mandating the fitment of ABS to all motorcycles in L3e-A1 from 2022 on, and the high cost associated with even slight injuries resulting from motorcycle collisions, a neutral benefit-cost ratio would result from the prevention of only around 1,500 slight injury collisions, less than 0.15% of the total collisions for the ten years between 2022 and 2032.
