BikeCOM: A cooperative safety application supporting cyclists and drivers at intersections

In 2009, 2334 cyclists died while riding bicycles in Europe. Many of those accidents occurred at road intersections, typically involved one vehicle and one bicycle, and were caused by distraction of either of the driver or the cyclist. This study describes

BikeSAFER: Final Report

BikeSAFER has been an important milestone for Chalmers and SAFER offering a fertile ground for new national and international collaborations and providing a stable foundation for new projects. The naturalistic cycling data from BikeSAFER is presently

What is the Relation between Bicycle Dynamics and Safety in the Real World?

Cycling safety is a worldwide safety concern that jeopardizes cycling sustainability. In 2011, cyclist fatalities totaled 658 in Japan, 677 in US, and 2092 in EU. In Europe the proportion of bicyclists’ death is also increasing as a consequence of drivers’

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 largely

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
