Skip to content sHARMONY
The sHARMONY project tackles the safety issue at bus stops where cycle lanes intersect pedestrian pathways. Current solutions like shared spaces and barriers do not dynamically manage interactions between cyclists, pedestrians, and buses. sHARMONY’s innovative system integrates embedded horizontal traffic lights, synchronized with bus movements via beacons, and includes a mobile app for visually impaired users, ensuring safe crossings and alerting cyclists to conflicts. This addresses a significant market need for safer urban mobility. The solution will be validated through pilot demonstrations in Barcelona and London, gathering real-time data and user feedback. In the short term, sHARMONY aims to reduce accidents at bus stops, with broader adoption expected medium-term, and long-term improvements in urban mobility safety and efficiency.

Urban bus stops with adjacent cycle lanes pose safety challenges, with incidents involving cyclists and pedestrians being prevalent, especially in cities like London and Barcelona.
Static traffic management solutions fail to adapt to dynamic urban environments. sHARMONY addresses this with context-sensitive signals, improving compliance and reducing conflicts.
Improved safety at bus stops, increased compliance with traffic rules, enhanced accessibility, and reduced accidents, promoting safer, more efficient urban mobility systems.
