D3: Projects relating to the impact of new technologies on vehicle safety and passenger safety.

Abstract

The aim of the study is to select the most promising ICT applications and to assess their impact on cyclist safety. To identify the most promising solutions, a SWOT analysis of the applications was carried out by European cycling and road safety experts. The analysis identified the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of 30 cycling-related ICT applications. Strengths and weaknesses refer to the internal environment of an application or service, and give an overview of what the application or service can or cannot provide to the users, the community, etc. Opportunities and threats refer to the external environment of an application or service, and give an overview of the potential improvements or risks associated with using an application or service. They relate to demographic, economic, political, social and technical factors. For each application and service, the results of the SWOT analysis were set out using a template indicating their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. (safecycle)
