A worldwide program to find, encourage, test and develop innovative technology that will improve motorcycle road safety is being launched.

The Motorcycle Technology Evaluation Challenge (MotoTEC) program is being developed by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute with $US400,000 from Australian company Transurban which operates toll roads both here and in the USA.
