PHOEBE presented latest updates at the European and global stage

PHOEBE showcased its innovative solutions to key stakeholders in Europe during the ‘iRAP in Europe 2024’ event, positioning itself as a leader in the field. Next, it expanded its influence on a global scale at the World Safety 2024 conference! 

The iRAP in Europe 2024 event focused on enhancing road safety with discussions on star ratings, investment strategies, and research. Representatives from EU member states emphasised the need for safer infrastructure, collaboration, and technology-driven solutions aligned with Vision Zero goals.  

The PHOEBE project was highlighted at the event as an innovative initiative for urban safety. Dr Sam Chapman from ‘The Floow’ discussed how the PHOEBE framework will use predictive models and data to enhance urban road safety – moreover, showing how the project leverages behavioural and telematics data, simulations, and safety frameworks to assess risk in pilot cities like Athens and Valencia. He highlighted the project’s objectives, the current status, and next steps to transform urban safety. 

In New Delhi, the World Safety 2024 conference focused on global injury prevention, addressing topics like powered two-wheeler safety and child health in road safety. Experts discussed strategies to halve road deaths and serious injuries by 2030, while workshops explored practical safety solutions and new research. The event highlighted the importance of road safety in sustainable development. 

This time, Jigesh Bhavsar, India’s iRAP Technical Manager, presented PHOEBE to the global audience. Bhavsar outlined the PHOEBE framework dynamic methodology for urban road safety assessment using predictive models. He engaged with participants by explaining how PHOEBE leverages AI, big data, and telematics to develop adaptable safety scores and evaluate city-specific changes. The case studies from Athens, Valencia, and the West Midlands highlighted real-world applications aimed at enhancing risk assessment tools for safer urban mobility across Europe.
