CMC
The CMC takes into account the specific needs of motorcycle circulation given the dynamic development of car safety systems. These include, in particular, communication from one vehicle to another, which so far has not taken sufficient account of motorcycle-specific safety aspects. Besides providing an opportunity for intensive dialogue, the JCC will focus on joint participation in motorcycle events and 2018 events to illustrate developments in the latest motorcycle safety systems.
