Mobility ( bicycle safety) is a spatial phenomenon GIS helps to gain spatially informed insights and to extract useful
information
GIS analysis of crash occurrences reveals spatial and temporal dynamics + allows for risk estimation
Geospatial models can be implemented in various tools Quality assessment in terms of safety
Simulation
Information
GIS can contribute to evidence-based, integrated strategies for bicycle safety improvement
