INTRAS researchers participate in the 12th International Cycling Safety Conference, to be held from 5 to 7 November 2024 in Imabari (Japan).
The papers presented are entitled:
What do European cyclists think about Advanced Cyclist Assistance Systems (ACAS) and their features? (Sergio Useche, Oscar Oviedo-Trespalacios, Francisco Alonso)
Differences in self-reported risky/protective cycling behavior and risk perception in 16 European countries (Sergio Useche, Francisco Alonso, Mireia Faus)
"From Japan to the world… on two wheels": Comparing self-reported behavioral data of Japanese cyclists with current global trends (Sergio Useche, Nagahiro Yoshida, Francisco Alonso, Javier Gene)
In addition, our researchers organize the Workshop “Moving from the present to the future: upcoming issues, methods and challenges in cycling safety research” (Sergio Useche, Oscar Oviedo-Trespalacios, Francisco Alonso).
The mission of the International Cycling Safety (ICS) community is to improve cycling safety through scientific work. The ICS community intends to disseminate scientific results to all cycling safety stakeholders. The yearly ICS conferences offer a premium forum to share scientific results and to favor networking inside the ICS community.
Theme of ICSC 2024: Cycling Safety Culture
To date, there is an ever-increasing interest in research, from policy level to road and street level, on the issue of how to achieve safe cycling in society.
Discussions on such research focus on defining the cycling safety culture, explore road user behaviour and the activities of people and organisations involved in road safety, and include an ongoing debate on how researchers around the world can contribute to safe cycling.
Therefore, by focusing on cycling safety culture, the conference hopes to provide an opportunity to gain a better understanding of the state of cycling safety in the world and to foster international collaboration among researchers to reduce cycling crashes and injuries.
