Another EU Horizon 2020 project was kicked-off in May 2018. PIONEERS (Protective Innovations of New Equipment for Enhanced Rider Safety) will investigate and assess the direct contribution to the reduction of fatalities and severity of injuries, as well as the number of injured Powered Two Wheelers (PTW) users by developing new Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and On-Board Safety Systems, improving the validation and assessment methods and increasing the usage rate of such devices. TUC partners BASt and LMU are involved in the project.
