Motorcycle crashes are a longstanding road safety issue nationally in Australia and worldwide. A better understanding of the factors that contribute to motorcyclist safety is required.

MotoSafe is a free mobile app that provides motorcyclists with a simple and quick way of reporting road safety incidents (e.g., crashes and near miss incidents). Motorcyclists can report important information about the incidents (e.g., time and location, incident description) and the factors that contributed to the incidents.

Information collected in MotoSafe is analysed and used to identify trends in incidents and incident causation, and to inform the development of strategies designed to improve motorcyclist safety. MotoSafe presents a summary of the incidents reported to its users, assisting motorcyclists to understand the potential hazards involved when they are riding.

MotoSafe is funded through the ACT Road Safety Fund Grants Program, a scheme by the ACT Government that supports road safety research and the development of new, innovative road safety technologies and products.

MotoSafe is free to download from Apple and Google Play app stores.

For more information about the project and your participation, please refer to the Research Project Information Sheet.

A summary report containing the analysis of the first 6 months of data collected is available to download soon.
