Connected vehicle tech and AI is increasing cycle safety

June 2, 2023

The Bike2CAV project, led by Salzburg Research, ran from September 2020 until April 2023. It brought together a consortium of companies including Kapsch TrafficCom to look at how bicycle collision risks can be better identified at road junctions,

At its core, the Bike2CAV project was about increasing safety for cyclists through cooperative detection of potential collision risks. To avoid collisions, traffic cameras were mounted on poles at intersections and equipped with AI software that analyzes traffic, anticipates critical situations, and can issue warnings within fractions of a second.
