The EU-funded ‘Predictive Approaches for Safer Urban Environment’ (PHOEBE) project aims to increase the road safety of vulnerable road users, especially those who use active mobility and e-scooters. This is achieved through the inter-disciplinary power of traffic simulation and road safety assessment. The 3.5 year-long PHOEBE project will draw inspirations from real-world scenarios in the three pilot cities of Athens (GR), Valencia (ES) and West Midlands (UK).
