Developing the connectivity and automatization of vehicles represents a great opportunity to improve cycle safety. A consortium, led by Salzburg Research, was working on innovative technologies to improve safety for vulnerable road users. Its focus was on finding opportunities for the cooperative detection of collision risks, as well as non-distracting warning concepts. Key results of the project can be found here: www.bike2cav.at/en/results/ 

The Bike2CAV research project ran from September 2020 until April 2023. It had funding from the Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Environment, Energy, Mobility, Innovation and Technology, as part of the Austrian Research Promotion Agency’s (FFG) FTI “Future Mobility” program.
