Abstract
Every year, more and more two-wheelers appear on the roads, which can be seen on the basis of statistical data. Every year, there are a large number of road accidents in which motorcyclists are injured. The following paper presents data on road accidents in Poland involving motorcyclists and other two-wheelers. The presented data are based on police data and data from the Central Statistical Office. The paper briefly presents various ways of performing motorcycle crash tests. The article presents a motorcycle crash test bench. The aim of the research at the stand was to investigate and analyze the movement of the head during a collision from behind at low speed. The collected data was processed using TEMA software. The research will continue to improve the test stand and to improve the safety of motorcyclists.
