Good practices

One of the key challenges in modern road safety is ensuring that driver assistance systems (ADAS) function reliably and accurately in real-world conditions. Among these, the Speed Limit Information Functions (SLIF), which display the current speed limit to the driver, are critical to encouraging compliant and safe driving behavior.

However, if these systems display incorrect or outdated speed information, drivers may unintentionally drive too fast or too slow for the road conditions, increasing the risk of collisions, fines, and public distrust in vehicle technology.

IVEX has developed an innovative platform that enables vehicle manufacturers and consumer testing organizations like Euro NCAP to objectively evaluate how well these systems perform on real roads, not just in simulations or controlled environments.

By enabling large-scale, real-world testing and providing quantifiable performance insights, IVEX helps:

- Manufacturers improve the reliability of their ADAS systems,
- Regulators and safety organizations set smarter standards,
- Consumers make informed decisions about the safety of their vehicles.

Ultimately, IVEX's solution contributes to:
- higher transparency,
- better engineering,
- fewer speed-related accidents.

Cycling to work is sustainable, accessible, inclusive, low-cost, and healthy.

A mental shift – changing attitudes, perceptions, and habits – is essential before a modal shift can occur, because employees must first believe in the safety, practicality, and benefits of cycling before they are willing to change their daily transport choices.

We focus on the risks associated with cycling to work. Many employees lack the safety awareness and practical skills to navigate these challenges.

We identify three core road safety problems:
1. Distraction while cycling: using smartphones, GPS devices, or headphones significantly impairs attention and reaction time.
2. Inappropriate speed, particularly on electric bicycles: the higher speeds of e-bikes require better anticipation and control, yet many cyclists are unaware of the dangers this poses in mixed traffic.
3. Cycling under the influence: alcohol or drug use, even in small amounts, dramatically reduces a cyclist’s coordination and judgment.

These challenges are compounded by a lack of targeted, practical training for adult commuters. Our project uses immersive virtual reality simulations to allow employees to experience these risks in a controlled environment, raising awareness, changing perceptions, and promoting safer cycling behavior. The ultimate goal is achieving a mental and modal shift toward safer, more sustainable mobility choices.

The core problem is that children in Greece grow up with little or no mobility education. There is no structured cultivation of what it means to be a responsible, aware participant in shared road environments. Most students have never experienced what it means to move safely, to share space, or to recognize the needs of vulnerable users (such as people with disabilities, pedestrians, or cyclists).
Our initiative targets children aged 0–16 and promotes safe and sustainable mobility through education in schools in the Municipality of Chania, Crete. We do not approach road safety simply as accident prevention — we view it as a cultural issue: How do we perceive movement in public space? How do we respect pedestrians, cyclists, and especially children?
Our programme fills this gap by offering an immersive, experience-based approach through Virtual Reality (VR) technology — placing children in realistic traffic situations where they learn by living the experience, not just reading about it.
The goal is not just to “prevent harm.” It is to help them move through the world with awareness, respect, and a sense of belonging in a community that moves together.

Началото на кампаниите посветени на безопасността на движението по пътищата в област Габрово са през 2018 г., като старта беше чрез организиране на беседа с ученици. През следващите години – от 2019 до 2024 г. са организирани събития по БДП с деца от ДГ, училища, родители и възрастни, чрез организиране на различен тип игри, беседи, въпросници и демонстрации.

Główne wyzwania, które adresuje Program Grantowy Drogowskaz, dotyczą niskiego poziomu wiedzy i świadomości dzieci i młodzieży w zakresie bezpieczeństwa ruchu drogowego (BRD), a także braku odpowiedniej infrastruktury edukacyjnej w tym obszarze. W wielu miejscowościach – zwłaszcza mniejszych i wiejskich – dzieci poruszają się po drogach bez odpowiedniego przygotowania, często bez kasków, odblasków czy znajomości podstawowych zasad ruchu drogowego. Brakuje tam chodników, przejść dla pieszych, ścieżek rowerowych, a także miasteczek ruchu drogowego, które umożliwiałyby praktyczną naukę.
Dodatkowym problemem jest niedostateczna edukacja praktyczna – dzieci uczą się zasad BRD głównie teoretycznie, bez możliwości ćwiczenia ich w realistycznych warunkach. W wielu przypadkach również dorośli – rodzice i opiekunowie – nie dają dobrego przykładu, co prowadzi do utrwalania niebezpiecznych nawyków.
Program Drogowskaz odpowiada na te wyzwania poprzez finansowanie lokalnych inicjatyw edukacyjnych, zakup infrastruktury (np. mobilnych miasteczek ruchu drogowego, wyświetlacze prędkości, AED), organizację warsztatów, rajdów i kampanii społecznych, które angażują całe społeczności i realnie wpływają na poprawę bezpieczeństwa na drogach.
