April 7, 2025
The Horizon Europe research project CulturalRoad has recently released a new Article authored by Evi Koliou. This Article focuses on the Safety pillar which is developing a series of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to measure safety consistently and equitably. These include crash rates per distance travelled, injury rates, the proportion of crashes involving vulnerable users, and predictive measures. The most important aspect that the Safety pillar will explore, is how well CCAM systems protect vulnerable users – those who are often left out of road safety gains. If we want truly equitable mobility, safety must be universal, not a privilege. Initial research shows that CCAM systems can greatly reduce risk in specific areas, such as intersections and lane changes, when they are well-designed and properly deployed. . However, the results also highlight that these improvements are not guaranteed for all locations or users.
