Powered two-wheelers (PTWs) are a vulnerable yet increasingly relevant component of smart urban mobility systems. Enhancing rider safety within intelligent and sustainable transport frameworks requires objective assessment of rider perception and visuomotor behaviour, particularly during skill acquisition. This study evaluates rider visual behaviour during structured motorcycle training tasks conducted in a real riding environment. Eye-tracking glasses were used to record gaze data from novice, intermediate, and instructor-level riders performing low-speed maneuvers. Quantitative metrics, including fixation frequency and gaze distribution within predefined Areas of Interest, were combined with qualitative scene-video analysis. The results indicate that visual strategies vary depending on the rider's level of experience with PTW riding. The findings indicate that eye-tracking-based evaluation can provide objective input for rider training assessment and may support the development of human-centred assistance systems and simulator-based training tools for safer integration of PTWs into smart and sustainable urban mobility ecosystems.

The paper presents the innovative approach to a high-fidelity motorcycle riding simulator based on VR (Virtual Reality)-visualization, equipped with a Gough-Stewart 6-DOF (Degrees of Freedom) motion platform. Such a solution integrates a real-time tension sensor system as a source for highly realistic motion cueing control as well as the servomotor integrated into the steering system. Tension forces are measured at four points on the mock-up chassis, allowing a comprehensive analysis of rider interaction during various maneuvers. The simulator is developed to simulate realistic riding scenarios with immersive motion and visual feedback, enhanced with the simulation of external influences-headwind. This paper presents results of a validation study-pilot experiments conducted to evaluate selected riding scenarios and validate the innovative simulator setup, focusing on force distribution and system responsiveness to support further research in motorcycle HMI (Human-Machine Interaction), rider behavior, and training.
