Introduction In the USA, between 1980 to 2013: Fatalities of riders under 29 have fallen from 73% of all fatalities to 27% Fatalities of riders over 50 have risen from 3% to 34% (NHTSA, 2015) This shift in fatality proportions is partly due to the aging population
Introduction A motorcycle’s power can be measured by its displacement Typically specified in cubic centimeters (CCs) The higher the engine CCs the more powerful the motorcycle resulting in greater acceleration and speed Motorcycle Type Typical Displacement (CCs) Standard 250 Sport 500-1000 Touring 1000+
Research Question To examine the effect of displacement on fatal crash responsibility while considering motorcyclists’ age
Data Source Fatality Analysis Reporting System Information on ALL fatal crashes in the USA since 1975 Contains detailed information on environmental, vehicular and motorcyclist-related factors
Design Employed a case-control design Cases had committed one or more Unsafe Motorcyclist Action (UMA), our proxy measure of crash responsibility Examples of UMAs include: Speeding, Weaving Controls did not commit an UMA
Inclusion Criteria Not Impaired by alcohol or drugs: Sex: Alcohol and drug data first captured in 1987 To rule out alcohol and drugs, we used data from 1987 through 2009 Sex: Given ~97% of motorcyclists involved in fatal crashes were male, we excluded females
Analyses Employed binary logistic regression to examine crash responsibility by motorcycle displacement and motorcyclist's age
Logistic Regression: Independent crash contributors Displacement Measured in CCs Examined displacement in 250 CC increments up to 1500 CCs Age Measured in years Examined age in 10 year increments up to age 70
Logistic Regression: Design Dependent variable: Responsibility Either any UMA or one of the top three UMAs Independent variable: Both linear and quadratic terms for Age and Displacement (e.g., Age and Age2) Interaction between Age and Displacement

Speeding For Speeding we see that displacement has an inverted J-Shape for ages 20 - 60 That is the highest odds ratios of any UMA by age are typically seen at 750-1000 CCs And the lowest odds ratios are seen at the 1500 CC level Age Age2 CC CC2 Age*CC Age2*CC Age*CC2 Age2*CC2 0.43 (0.27-0.68) 1.10 (0.99-1.23) 1.21 (1.15-1.27) 0.99 (0.99–0.99) 1.02 (0.97-1.08) (0.98-1.00) 1.00 (1.00-1.00)
Speeding Riders aged 20-60 had increased odds of committing a Speeding UMA for CCs 500-1250 compared to equivalent aged riders of 250 CC motorcycles For these riders, increased odds are not present at 1500 CCs Age Age2 CC CC2 Age*CC Age2*CC Age*CC2 Age2*CC2 0.43 (0.27-0.68) 1.10 (0.99-1.23) 1.21 (1.15-1.27) 0.99 (0.99–0.99) 1.02 (0.97-1.08) (0.98-1.00) 1.00 (1.00-1.00)
Speeding However, by age 70 we see a more linear shape Riders aged 70 had increased odds of committing a Speeding UMA for 1500 CCs motorcycles compared to equivalent aged riders of 250 CC motorcycles At lower CCs (≤ 1250), increased odds are not statistically significant Age Age2 CC CC2 Age*CC Age2*CC Age*CC2 Age2*CC2 0.43 (0.27-0.68) 1.10 (0.99-1.23) 1.21 (1.15-1.27) 0.99 (0.99–0.99) 1.02 (0.97-1.08) (0.98-1.00) 1.00 (1.00-1.00)

Implications Given these results education and legislative measures should be considered For example, develop training interventions focusing on control, stability, and breaking differences given the vehicle’s greater weight and power
Implications Legislatively, licensing tiers could be employed based on displacement and educational requirements Both education and legislative measures could curb the trend seen between higher levels of displacement and crash responsibility
