Key facts about SAFECYCLE
■Start: 1 June 2011
■End: 30 November 2012
■Co-funded by the European Commission – DG MOVE
■Partners: Mobycon, University of Hasselt, University of Rome, CDV
■Objective: Identifying those ICT applications with the best cost-effectiveness concerning road safety for cyclists

Some facts about cycle safety
■Cyclist fatalities reach 6% of all the fatalities in EU countries. In 2005 this amounts to approx. 1200 people for the EU-14.
■Apart from general factors (e.g. speed and weight of motorised vehicles, lack of protection of cyclists) the main factors for accidents of cyclists are lack of visibility, vehicle control and alcohol consumption.
■In countries where people cycle a lot, cyclists in general have a lower fatality rate.

ICT dimensions
Four dimensions for ICT and safe cycling:
■ICT on bicycles
■ICT in other vehicles
■ICT in infrastructure
■ICT on the internet

European dimension
■White paper (2011): ”By 2050, move close to zero fatalities in road transport. In line with this goal, the EU aims at halving road casualties by 2020. Make sure that the EU is a world leader in safety and security of transport in all modes of transport.”
■Bringing together ICT knowledge and cycling knowledge of European countries
■SAFECYCLE consortium encompasses four European countries with a worldwide cycling and ICT network
