Många städer arbetar för att få fler att välja cykeln som transportmedel. Hur påverkas andelen cyklister av stadsbyggnad och infrastruktur? Med ökad andel automatiserade fordon, fler cyklister och förändrad infrastruktur krävs ett förändrat sätt att kommunicera i trafiken. Hur avgör vi fotgängares och fordons intentioner? Vilka visuella referenser använder vi exempelvis för att förutse hur en cyklist kommer att agera
