Protective measures for vulnerable road users (VRUs) in urban areas.
The 3.5 year EU-funded project ‘Predictive Approaches for Safer Urban Environment’ (PHOEBE) aims to develop an integrated, dynamic, human-centred, predictive safety assessment framework for VRUs in urban areas, drawing inspiration from real-world scenarios in three pilot cities of Athens, Valencia and West Midlands. It will achieve this by bringing together the inter-disciplinary power of traffic simulation, road safety assessment, human behaviour, mode shift and induced demand modelling, as well as new and emerging mobility data.
