Three pillars ofRoad safety for Cyclists ….
Safe behavior
Safe vehicles
Safe infra-
structure

Road Safety and health!
“… the health benefits of
cycling are often
overlooked in policy
discussions.”
OECD/ITF(2013),
Cycling, Health and Safety

More cycling dangerous? It’s a
myth! Safety in numbers !

A Moral Issue?
• About 1.25 million people killed on the road worldwide
• About 26,000 people killed on EU28 roads, 70 per day!
– every year !

EU road fatality absolute numbers
11Source CARE database
About 8% Cyclists &
20% Pedestrians

Latest EU figures on road safety
• Cyclists make up 8% of all who died on the
road in the EU
• From 2004-2013 there was a reduction of
32% in bicycle fatalities, only 4% between
2010 and 2014
• For the first time road fatalities have
increased over the past year

Safe Infrastructure
• Traffic calming – 30 kph zones
– EU Parliament has committed to 30 kph as default speed in urban areas
– Shared spaces can work
• Cycle lanes/tracks/streets
– Separation depends on function and speed of motorised transport on the road
• Intersections need special attention
– Around 70% accidents at intersections

Safe Heavy Goods Vehicles• The height of the drivers seating
position too high
• Direct vision specification–Why
don’t they exist?
• No Deflective shape – flying brick!
• We want the latest automatic
sensing and braking to be
mandatory on all large vehicles

A Moral Issue!
1. About 1.25 million people killed on the road worldwide
2. Speeding of cars is one of the main killers!
3. The technology to avoid speeding is there!
=> Let’s draw the Moral Obligation from these Facts:
Implementation of Intelligent Speed Adaptation in cars now !
