Keywords: motorcycle, rollover, collision experiment

The authors of this paper have conducted several collision experiments for studies, diploma theses, etc. since 1994. At the beginning, vehicle-vehicle collisions as well as vehicle-HGV collisions with speeds up to 70 km/h were conducted. After the development of an alternative acceleration technology for motorcycles, high-speed collision experiments involving motorcycles could be conducted in the year 2000. These experiments dealt with motorcycle impact speeds of about 100 km/h. Further experiments covered speeds between 80-120 km/h and later on speeds of about 50 km/h.
