Xcycle H2020 Project

xcycle is a three year research and innovation action funded by the european commission under the horizon 2020 framework programme. it started on june 1st, 2015 and its activities will be completed by november 2018. the project will develop innovative and efficient advanced safety measures to reduce the number of accidents, often of high severity, involving cyclists in interaction with motorised vehicles. technologies aimed at improving active and passive detection of cyclists, systems informing both drivers and cyclists of an hazard at junctions, effective methods of presenting information in vehicles and on-site and cooperation systems aimed at reducing collisions with cyclists will be designed and tested in real traffic conditions. knowledge and tools provided by this project will promote the development of the european road safety observatory (erso) and contribute to the transport white paper's "vision zero" objectives. a user-centred approach will be adopted and behavioural eva
