1 Introduction Between 2000 and 2008, motorcyclist fatalities increased by 83 percent, but FHWA data indicates that motorcycle vehicle-miles traveled (VMT) did not grow nearly as much during that period, increasing only by 38 percent (4)

2accuracy values so close to unity in almost all cases that it did not facilitate comparisons and was not deemed appropriate for further use in this study. Simple detection accuracy is defined as follows: Simple detection accuracy: Classification Count by Test System Classification Count by Ground Truth Testing occurred for each of five selected detector technologies using representative products.

4Inductive Loops/Piezoelectric Sensors. Many states are already using inductive loops and piezoelectric sensors, but the low detection rate for motorcycles plus other negative factors associated with these legacy systems should encourage states to replace them with non-intrusive detectors that are more accurate.
