on the main road but in the opposite direction and the car wishes to turn left . In this situation the motorbike vehicle is less visible than a car , even through the auxiliary systems , with the risk of not being assessed well by the oncoming motorist . Also in this case , as soon as the motorist activates the direction indicator when approaching the intersection , the traffic warning signal for the oncoming motorbike is displayed .
DNPW ( Do Not Pass Warning ) is instead the case in which a motorbike , in a queue , wants to overtake a large vehicle that precedes it and which in turn has a car in front of it , not visible to the motorcyclist , who wants to turn left . In this case it is the motorcyclist who displays the warning system as soon as the system sees that both the car and the motorbike have activated the direction indicator .
“ For Ducati the issue of road safety is really important ," explained Simone Di Piazza , Ducati Innovation Manager . " We have already demonstrated this in the past , being the first motorcycle manufacturers in the world to have the entire range equipped with ABS Cornering and the first to introduce Blind Spot Detection . The work presented today makes us proud and we are convinced that communication between vehicles , when ready enough to be introduced on all motorbikes and cars , will have a fundamental role in reducing the number and severity of accidents involving motorcyclists ".
To demonstrate the effectiveness of the systems developed in this CMC research cycle , Ducati and Lamborghini have created a video involving a Ducati Multistrada and a Lamborghini Urus . The video is available on the Ducati YouTube channel and on the Ducati . com website .
