От 2016 година Българска асоциация за рекреация, интеграция и спорт /БАРИС/
организира и провежда Национален автомобилен шампионат за хора с увреждания
съвместно със Спортната комисия за хора с увреждания към Автомобилната федерация на
България /АФБ/. Основната идея е чрез организацията и провеждането на Автомобилни
състезания за хора с увреждания с участието на автомобили управлявани от хора с
различни увреждания да се постигне фокусиране на общественото внимание върху
възможностите за социално включване и интеграция на хората с увреждания чрез
придобиване на умения за управление на моторни превозни средства адаптирани
съобразно техните специфични нужди. Нашето желание е да се покаже, че решаващо е не
физическото увреждане, а волята и способността на човека, за да живее пълноценно и да
бъде полезен на обществото и да постигнем промяна в обществените нагласи към хората с
увреждания като водачи на МПС.

In 2018, an analysis of the causes of road crashes involving pedestrians in the voivodship Małopolskie in Poland found that 68% of such crashes occurred in the vicinity of pedestrian crossings. The Małopolska Voivodship Police Headquarters in Cracow undertook a detailed assessment of the illumination of and road markings at pedestrian crossings for the whole region. The study identified a large number of deficiencies, especially related to illumination. The official statistics confirmed the high risk for pedestrians on pedestrian crossings.

Data oriented and supported measures to protect vulnerable road users by understanding behavioural aspects at different infrastructural sections is mandatory for professional and successful pro-active road safety work. Usual data collection within the road safety sector is provided by short-timed data collection by hand or police-initiated reports after crashes happened. For better results in research and infrastructure planning, much more data over longer timespans is needed to provide better understanding on traffic flow mechanics, human behaviour and infrastructural effects on both former topics.
With the Mobility Observation Box (MOB) an image sensor based solution to collect, measure and evaluate trajectory data that integrates seamless into traffic flows without interfering them was developed to overcome the data collection issues. MOB is able to collect data for up to 14 consecutive days on-site with machine learning based post-processing of relevant safety KPIs such as TTC and PET. The technology is battery-powered and can be mounted nearly everywhere due to its lightweight.

Years before, "fleet size" was the only criteria to prioritize risk. Focus was mainly on countries with bigger fleets, where audits, programs reviews and inspections were continuously and repeatedly performed. With the combination of multi input of data like: program review & audit scores, last audit performed, SAFE FLEET Team presence, fleet size, vehicle ownership, performance (CPMM and IPMM), BTW completion, High Risk Drivers %, SIF-p, we were able to identify and predict more accurate where risk resides and finally define good/strong strategic action plans.
