Last week, Ghent hosted cycling enthusiasts at Velo-city 2024, where all things cycling were celebrated, from research to practice to fun, data, and, of course, safety. With a consolidated cycling culture, Ghent was the perfect stage for PHOEBE to connect with the cycling community.
PHOEBE partnered with the ELABORATOR project to showcase their shared objectives and work, aiming to make cycling safer for everyone with a shared booth. POLIS, iRAP, and FACTUAL represented PHOEBE’s ambitions to improve road safety through the interdisciplinary power of traffic simulation and road safety assessment.
It was a fantastic opportunity to share PHOEBE’s progress, including first project results, our methodology and a detailed outline of upcoming project steps, while also gaining insights from numerous other projects and initiatives aimed at enhancing all aspects of cycling.
PHOEBE partners also gained significant insights by attending other Velo-city sessions, which covered topics that are highly relevant to the ongoing development of PHOEBE, including discussions on cycling data, inclusiveness in cycling, the co-existence of mixed modes, and improved safety for cyclists. PHOEBE will continue to explore cooperation with ELABORATOR and other projects and initiatives to promote safer urban streets and a sustainable future for mobility.
