How road markings influence overtaking behaviour: pilot projects in Salzburg
In many places, guideline-compliant wide cycle lanes are not possible due to the width of the roads. However, due to a lack of suitable alternative routes, these sections of road remain part of the cycle network and require improved safety for cyclists. Solutions to this problem are currently being tested and researched in the ‘Reallabor Nußdorferstraße’ and in the [...]
Hightech on two wheels: Innovative cycling research with the Holoscene Bike
The Holoscene Bike provides Cycle Competence member Salzburg Research with an innovative research tool that uses state-of-the-art sensor technology to deliver objective data on cycling safety. Developed by Berlin-based start-up Boréal Bikes, the bike is equipped with LiDAR, GPS, cameras and communication technology and is being used in several projects. These range from analysing overtaking manoeuvres between cyclists and [...]
RADBEST research project: Cycling in confined road conditions
In traffic planning practice, the routing of bicycle traffic in confined spaces poses a particular challenge. The RADBEST research project, in which Cycle Competence members Salzburg Research, the Department of Geoinformatics at the Paris Lodron University of Salzburg and con.sens mobilitätsdesign were involved, looked for possible solutions. To this end, regulations and scientific studies were analyzed, experts were interviewed [...]
