Abstract

U ovom radu analizirati će se utjecaj zaštitne opreme na sigurnost motociklista, te će se istražiti osnovni čimbenici sigurnosti u prometu, vrste i konstrukcijske značajke motocikla te će se predložiti mjere za povećanje sigurnosti u prometu. Zaštitna oprema motociklista kao jedini dio pasivne sigurnosti, vrlo je važan dio opreme motocikla što pokazuje i zakonski propisana kaciga kao obavezna oprema pri svakoj vožnji na motociklu. Kako bi se povezala zaštitna oprema i sigurnost prometa, provedeno je istraživanje među motociklistima o prometnim nesrećama i ozljedama koje su imali, koju zaštitnu opremu koriste, te koji su osobni stavovi motociklista prema istoj. Statistika poginulih i ozlijeđenih motociklista u protekle tri godine pokazuje vrlo mali napredak, te se moraju pronaći nova rješenja i provesti dodatne mjere kako bi se povećala sigurnost motociklista.

Abstract (english)

In this work will be analyzed the influence of protective equipment on the safety of motorcyclists, it will be researched the main factors of traffic safety, types and structural features of motorcycles, and it will suggest measures to increase traffic safety. Motorcyclist protective equipment as the only part of passive safety is very important part of motorcycle equipment as shown by, that helmet is legally required on every motorcycle ride in traffic. In order to connect protective equipment and traffic safety, a survey was conducted among the motorcycle drivers about traffic accidents and injuries that they had, which protective equipment they use, and what are personal views of motorcyclist about that same equipment. The statistic about dead and injured motorcyclists in the past three years, show very little progress. Because of that, new solutions have to be found and implementation of additional measures is crucial to increase safety of motorcyclists.
