La BMW R 1200 RS Connected Ride

BMW Motorrad has been considered a leader in safety associated with motorcycling for decades. His pioneering character has been consolidated, for example, with the ABS, the traction control, dynamic traction control or equipment for motorcyclists. BMW Motorrad continuously strives to improve motorcycle safety and make two-wheel drive even safer and more attractive.

With the R 1200 RS ConnectedRide prototype, BMW unveiled a motorcycle that provided visitors to the 2017 CMC Conference, held last October 12 at BMW Welt, Munich, a advance of the future of motorcycle safety systems. In addition to an assistant for left turns and crossings, it has a large number of systems designed to prevent accidents between motorcycles and cars.

Other road users are also alerted, as well as the motorist himself, if they are about to ignore the passing preference. It is in charge of detecting this dangerous situation and initiating the corresponding warning measures the communication technology between vehicles V2V (Vehicle to Vehicle Communication), based on a standard of communication between manufacturers and an extremely precise location through the DGNSS system (Global System Satellite Navigation).

In 2016, the CMC (Connected Motorcycle) was founded by BMW Motorrad, Sling Y Yamaha with the aim of promoting C-ITS (Intelligent Cooperative Transport Systems) for motorcycles with as many standards among manufacturers as possible. The only international consortium of this type for motorcycle safety is becoming increasingly important.

The CMC especially considers the specific requirements for motorcycling due to the highly dynamic development of automotive safety systems. This mainly includes V2V technology, which has not sufficiently taken into account motorcycle safety aspects. The 2017 CMC Conference focused on the interventions and the exchange of information by Pedro Barradas, of the Directorate General for Mobility and Transport (DG MOVE) of the European Commission, Dr. Ulrich Veh, Director of Security of the European Association of Car Manufacturers (ACEA), and Antonio Perlot, Secretary General of the European Motorcycle Manufacturers Association (ACEM). The CMC host and new president, Prof. Dr. Karl Viktor Schaller, BMW Motorrad Development Manager, said: “Our goal is to promote the integral use of cooperative motorcycle safety systems at an early stage to take advantage of their potential to increase safety and driving pleasure. That is the reason to invite other companies to join"

In addition to providing an opportunity for intense dialogue, the CMC will promote joint appearances in Auto Shows and other events in 2018 in order to actively illustrate the latest developments in safety systems for two-wheeled vehicles. At the 2017 CMC Conference, the future was glimpsed with the BMW R 1200 RS ConnectedRide prototype and two prototypes based on the Honda CRF 1000 L Africa Twin and the Yamaha MT-09 Tracer, with a common architecture.

The next important date on the CMC calendar is the ITS World Congress, to be held between on October 29 and on November 2, 2017 in Montreal, Canada. This will be the biggest event in the world about intelligent transport systems and services. At the round table on November 1, the CMC will lead a deep debate around connected networks and V2V communication with experts from the United States, Europe and Taiwan.
