Hastighet är den viktigaste trafiksäkerhetsfaktorn och Göteborgs stad söker nya verktyg för att säkra rätt hastighet. Vi har idag fler än 3000 hastighetsdämpande åtgärder på våra gator och stadens 2500 bilar har, eller kommer att få, ISA installerat. Vi deltar i det nationella forskningsprogrammet för geofencing där ser vi ett nytt verktyg för hastighet, men också för andra viktiga funktioner som tillträde till områden och drivlina. Vi har testat geofencing på olika sätt sedan 2015. Inom den regionala samarbetsplattformen ElectriCity har vi har haft en busslinje i ordinarie trafik med geofencing inom några geografiska områden. Där har geofencinglogiken som styr bussens hastighet lagts in lokalt i bussen. I projekt DIZ2 har vi utvecklat vi möjligheten att föra över data till bussen från t ex trafikkontoret, vilket öppnar för möjligheten att vi som väghållare snabbt kan ändra de geografiska zonerna. I IT-plattformen som har tagits fram inom DIZ2 ligger de hastighetsbegränsade zonerna i områden med många gående och cyklister, till exempel utanför en skola.

Children are our most vulnerable road users but they cannot be responsible for their own safety when using the road. They simply do not have the cognitive skills to be able to recognise danger, therefore programmes like the Back to School campaign and Safe Cross Code are vital in teaching children essential road safety skills at a young age. No child should walk or cycle on their own to school without supervision. This year marks the 12th year of this campaign. Every year we pick a different topic. In 2021 we launched our Guidelines to improving road safety around your school. The aim is to provide information and tools which will assist school management to develop and implement a road safety action plan in collaboration with the school community to reduce the risk of any incidents occurring during the commute to and from school. In 2020 our theme was about being cautious when children walk and cycle to school. In 2022 we are launching our new Virtual Learning Platform which is an innovative educational programme for schools.

Telraam helps out citizens, resident groups and local governments who want to gain knowledge on traffic in their streets and want to improve road safety by tackling traffic challenges that have a negative impact on liveability such as rat running, speed issues or the negative impact of circulation measures. Telraam is an affordable, precise, objective and scientifically supported tool which provides an insight into traffic volumes, direction of travel and average speed of cars.

The main challenges:
Quality training in traffic safety for children from 3 to 7 years of age to acquire basic knowledge and skills for moving in an urban environment. Formation of skills for dealing with critical situations
Accidents in tunnels are characterized by a high intensity of impact on the environment and vehicles participating in the movement. The effects of such tears are great. In the case of the transport of dangerous goods, the lack of sufficient information may create additional, unexpected risks. Enabling the identification of dangerous goods entering tunnels can optimize risk management and aid decision making on progress.
