The EU Road Safety Cluster brings together several EU-funded projects to collaborate on the subject of road safety, promoting a safe, inclusive, sustainable and user-centric mobility system. Cluster Projects have recently published a new White Paper, Advancing Road Safety Through Data, bringing together insights from multiple activities. The paper examines persistent challenges in road safety data — including fragmentation, under-reporting and limited interoperability — and presents innovative solutions such as AI-based analytics, digital twins and federated data spaces. It concludes with concrete policy recommendations to support proactive, evidence-based road safety and the EU’s Vision Zero objectives.
The initiative was coordinated by project PHOEBE, and featured insights from V4SAFETY, AI4CCAM, EVENTS, SOTERIA, CAMBER, FRODDO, PHOEBE, iDriving, ProtAct-Us, and SAFETeen and EvoRoads.
EvoRoads contributed to th White Paper by providing its perspective on data-driven infrastructure safety assessment within the Safe System approach. The project’s work on digitalising transport infrastructure through an AI-enabled connectivity platform supports the integration of infrastructure monitoring data across multiple geospatial levels, enabling proactive safety risk identification and more efficient maintenance planning for road operators. By advancing harmonised safety criteria and KPI-based methodologies, the project helps strengthen dynamic monitoring of cyber-physical road infrastructure and supports infrastructure readiness for Cooperative, Connected and Automated Mobility (CCAM), contributing to safer and more resilient road environments.
