Project manager

Marco Dozza

The aim of the e-BikeSAFE project is to repeat the success of the BikeSAFE project by collecting naturalistic data from electrical bicycles in Göteborg. Analyses of these data in combination with BikeSAFE data will determine the safety impact of electrical bicycle in comparison with traditional bicycles. This project is partly funded by Trafikverket (The Swedish Transport Administration).
