Safe2Wheelers
Powered Two Wheeler (PTW) riders are among the most vulnerable road users and major efforts are necessary to enhance rider safety. The use of PTWs is increasing worldwide, especially in urban environments. PTWs offer many benefits for personal mobility: less congestion, time gain, energy savings, easier parking.
But … these beneficial opportunities can only be capitalised if PTW safety is further prioritised. As prior initiatives to improve PTW safety have concentrated on single aspects, a truly holistic and integrated approach towards PTW safety is still lacking. This COST Action addresses this gap, by bringing together PTW safety experts in Europe and beyond.
Partners about
"PTW riders are the most vulnerable road users when looking at distance travelled and a concerted and international effort like Safe2Wheelers is needed to enhance their safety"
"Active scalable human models with cognitive abilities contribute to optimize PTW safety and so to increase to the safety of the whole traffic flow"
“An extremely important issue concerning all activities to enhance PTW safety is to include the rider. Properly trained and informed riders can avoid critical situations as well as use assistance systems according to their operational area”
