Predicting risk to save lives: new approaches to urban road safety
Urban streets are becoming increasingly complex and are having significant impacts on road safety. Growing population density, a rise in cycling and micromobility, and continued reliance on private vehicles are intensifying competition for limited road space. This complexity has disproportionately affected vulnerable road users (VRUs). VRUs, including pedestrians, cyclists and micromobility users, represent 70% of […]
52 % of Spain’s road network is severely deteriorated, ASIMOB tech reveals
A new audit from the Asociación Española de la Carretera (AEC) published in July 2025, reveals that over 52 % of Spain’s interurban road network, more than 54,000 km out of roughly 101,700 km, shows serious or very serious deterioration. Examples of these damages range from deep pavement cracks and potholes to failing signage, safety barriers, and road […]
Minimising human errors in public transport: Predictive fatigue monitoring for higher passenger safety
In 2024, close to 20,000 road fatalities occurred across Europe. Europe’s long-term road safety goal, ‘Vision Zero’ aims to have zero fatalities in road transport by 2050. Technological advances, including connectivity and automation, present new opportunities to reduce the role of human errors. The role of fatigue in human errors on our roads, remains a […]
