Abstract

Two-wheelers are the most preferred mode of transport by the majority of the Asians due to its size, price range and fuel requirement. But there is not much safety equipment present in accordance with the fact that the driver is directly in contact with the atmosphere. So, this paper deals with the various technologies under research and development and some safety technologies already in market to ensure safety in two-wheelers. This basically covers the different types of passive safety systems for the protection of the upper body of the rider. A detailed study of each technology including its principle, components, design, working and the advantages and disadvantages of each technology is covered. It covers the pre-requisite design conditions, general types of the safety systems and a detailed study of some of the most effective and feasible safety system.
