On 21 September this year, the second Project EDWARD (European Day Without A Road Death) took place during the European Mobility Week. The project has encouraged road users to think safety first while driving, walking or cycling. The campaign, launched by the European Traffic Police Network (TISPOL), was widely supported by the European Commission.
Improving the quality of road safety data is essential to reducing the number of road deaths and injuries. This is the message of the “Marrakech Declaration” adopted by international road safety experts from more than 40 countries meeting in Marrakech, Morocco for the 6th IRTAD conference on 10-12 October.
The ITS EU-funded projects TIMON, HIGHTS and ROADART were present together at the WPNC'17 IEEE 14th Workshop on Positioning, Navigation and Communications (see workshop website here).
Replacing private car traffic with new shared mobility services in urban areas dramatically reduces the number of cars needed, significantly cuts CO2 emissions and frees large swathes of public land for uses other than parking – without making it more difficult for users to get from door to door.
