Portugal-Braga: Enhancing bike safety and monitoring cyclists flows
Background
The Portuguese city of Braga and EIT Urban Mobility are looking to fund a six-month pilot of an innovative cycling solution with up to €60 000. Braga is creating shared traffic lanes that can accommodate multiple transport modes to promote cycling as a preferred mode of transport. By implementing additional safety measures, and better understanding cyclists’ behaviour and mobility patterns, Braga can create a more friendly environment for cyclists and reduce the risk of accidents.
The city is committed to testing innovative solutions that will make cycling a safe and accessible mode of transportation for everyone.
In pursuit of this objective, the city welcomes innovative solutions that can address the following, but are not limited to:
- Monitoring the use of shared lanes to provide insights to the city mobility planners and inform the road users.
- Solutions that can enhance safety through the utilization of intelligent signalling devices.
- Novel lighting techniques.
- Systems to measure bicycle and vehicle speeds with sensors or comparable intelligent solutions.
