EUROPEAN COMMISSION FUNDED RESEARCH PROJECT

SAFERBRAIN

SAFERBRAIN: The rapidly growing economies of Brazil and India are resulting in built environments where safety needs, especially for vulnerable road users, are not always considered. The question thus was how to increase the safety of vulnerable road users, i.e. cyclists and pedestrians. The SAFERBRAIN project focused on increasing the safety of the whole road transport system using knowledge gained through European Union road safety projects, including: SafetyNet, RISER and TRACE. The theory and principles of infrastructure design and road safety management were used to create best practices that could be easily implemented.

Status: completed in 2011
