Motorcycle protective clothing, crash protection, thermal strain and rider performance

该项目将首次提供：防护服所需性能的基本知识，以防止受伤;评估性能的最佳方法;以及解决热应变对骑手性能的潜在负面影响。这是第一次从整体系统的角度来研究摩托车防护服。在澳大利亚，摩托车手的伤亡率过高，目前每年给澳大利亚社会造成的损失超过20亿澳元。这项工作将提供知识，可以制定公共政策和性能评估协议，并最终导致减少摩托车碰撞的社会成本。

Using a mix of novel studies this project will for the first time provide: basic knowledge of the required performance of protective clothing to prevent injury; the best ways to assess performance; and, resolution around potential negative effects of thermal strain on rider performance. This is is the first study to examine motorcycle protective clothing from a whole-system perspective. In Australia, motorcyclists are over-represented in casualty rates and currently cost the Australian community more than two billion Australian dollars per year. This work will provide knowledge on which public policy and performance assessment protocols can be developed, and ultimately will lead to reduced societal costs from motorcycle crashes.
