Understanding Bicycle Dynamics and Cyclist Behavior from Naturalistic Field Data

As technology advances, motorized vehicles employ newer, more intelligent systems to improve drivers’ safety and mobility. The evolution of these systems is supported by increasingly accurate models for driver behavior and vehicle dynamics. Despite the

Piloting the Naturalistic Methodology on Bicycles

Cycling is not a safe activity in Europe and claims over 2000 lives each year. In Gothenburg, Sweden, cycling safety has not significantly improved in the last five years, possibly due to the increasing number of cyclists. This paper describes the effort

"Please, bike and tell me when you feel unsafe!" Analysis of safety-critical situations from a cyclist´s perspective in a naturalistic cycling study

BikeSAFE - Analysis of Safety-Critical Events from Naturalistic Cycling Data

Cycling is a risky activity responsible for a large numbers of injuries and deaths every year. For example, in Europe cycling claims about 2000 lives each year. In the last decades, numerous research studies used accident databases to better understand the

BikeSAFE (TRV2012/13373) Slutrapport

Att cykla är ett miljövänligt och hälsosamt transportsätt som blir allt mer populärt i Sverige (Eriksson et al. 2006). Svenska myndigheter stödjer cykling som ett hållbart alternativ till att köra bil (Trafikkontoret 2012). Cykling är dock inte lika säkert

Introducing naturalistic cycling data: What factors influence bicyclists' safety in the real world?

Presently, the collection and analysis of naturalistic data is the most credited method for understanding road user behavior and improving traffic safety. Such methodology was developed for motorized vehicles, such as cars and trucks, and is still
