This difficulty results both from the lack of adequate instrumentation to conduct this type of study and from the variety of practices of this population of road users. Riders have numerous explanations of strategies for controlling their motorcycles when taking bends. The objective of this paper is to develop a data-driven methodology in order to identify typical riding behaviors in bends by using clustering methods. The real dataset used for the experiments is collected within the VIROLO++ collaborative project to improve the knowledge of actual PTW riding practices, especially during bend taking, by collecting real data on this riding situation, including data on PTW dynamics (velocity, normal acceleration, and jerk), position on the road (road curvature), and handlebar actions (handlebar steering angle). A detailed analysis of the results is provided for both the Anderson\u2013Darling test and clustering steps. Moreover, the clustering results are compared with the subjective data of subjects to highlight and contextualize typical riding tendencies. Finally, we perform an in-depth analysis of the bend-taking practices of one subject to highlight the differences between different methods of controlling the motorcycle (steering handlebar vs. rider\u2019s lean) using the rider action measurements made by pressure sensors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20226696","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,23]],"date-time":"2020-11-23T08:18:23Z","timestamp":1606119503000},"page":"6696","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Powered Two-Wheeler Riding Profile Clustering for an In-Depth Study of Bend-Taking Practices"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5481-0752","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohamed","family":"Diop","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"TS2-SIMU&amp;MOTO, Universit\u00e9 Gustave Eiffel, IFSTTAR, F-77447 Marne-la-Vall\u00e9e, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3967-1242","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abderrahmane","family":"Boubezoul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"TS2-SIMU&amp;MOTO, Universit\u00e9 Gustave Eiffel, IFSTTAR, F-77447 Marne-la-Vall\u00e9e, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5193-1732","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Latifa","family":"Oukhellou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"COSYS-GRETTIA, Universit\u00e9 Gustave Eiffel, IFSTTAR, F-77447 Marne-la-Vall\u00e9e, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3449-8279","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"St\u00e9phane","family":"Espi\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"TS2-SIMU&amp;MOTO, Universit\u00e9 Gustave Eiffel, IFSTTAR, F-77447 Marne-la-Vall\u00e9e, France"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"(2020, November 22). 2018 Road Safety Annual Report.
