The project will develop guidelines for designing and conducting an
observation survey of motorcyclist use of Personnel Protective Equipment (PPE) at the State or local level; and apply the
guidelines in a pilot test. The guidelines will address how to design a sampling plan
including identifying locations to observe traffic, a data collection protocol, field staff
training, data recording, statistical analysis, and interpretation. The pilot test will record
motorcyclist use of helmets (DOT-certified), gloves, jackets, pants, and shoes. The results
of the pilot test will provide a probability-based estimate of PPE and reveal areas of
improvement in the guidelines. Expected reports include the guidelines as well as the results of the pilot study. |
