The project focuses on the design of a methodology for assessing rider distraction in order to improve the safety of this vulnerable group of road users. The increasing complexity of Human Machine Interface (HMI) systems, including for example touchscreens or assistive technologies, brings new challenges related to rider attention. These technologies, although designed to facilitate driving, can be a significant source of distraction. This project seeks to understand and quantify the impact of these systems on drivers' ability to respond to their environment. The main contribution of the project will be the design of an objective rider distraction assessment tool, with experiments combining various quantitative methods and subjective rider assessments. The design of the methodology will include a multi-criteria evaluation and will lead to the definition of a "rider distraction index" that can serve as a universal standard for motorcycle manufacturers and related technologies. The proposed solution builds on a long tradition of experimental work in the field of HMI at the Department of Transportation Vehicles k616 of the CTU Faculty of Transportation, and the project leverages experience from previous activities such as the development of racing motorcycles within the CTU Lions team. The results of the project will be presented in the form of scientific publications or international conferences, with the ambition to contribute to the optimization of HMI systems and increase the safety of motorcyclists on the road.
