The project addresses the problem of repeated unsafe traffic behaviour among young people and the growing number of traffic accidents involving minors. However, young people require a different approach than adults.

Road infrastructure can contribute to crash risk when safety-related issues are not identified and addressed during the planning and design stages. Road Safety Audits provide a systematic and independent assessment of road projects, helping to prevent crashes and reduce their consequences before infrastructure is built or substantially modified.
Effective implementation of this procedure requires qualified professionals with specialised knowledge of road design, crash analysis, human factors, the Safe System approach and the needs of all road users, including vulnerable road users.
In Portugal, access to the profession of Road Safety Auditor is regulated and requires civil engineers with relevant professional experience to complete specific training delivered by a training provider certified by the Institute for Mobility and Transport (IMT).
PRP’s initiative addressed the need to translate these legal and technical requirements into a comprehensive training programme capable of developing the competencies required to identify infrastructure-related risks and formulate appropriate safety recommendations. By training engineers from Infraestruturas de Portugal, the national road infrastructure manager, the initiative also aimed to strengthen the institutional capacity to integrate road safety into the planning, design and assessment of road infrastructure.

The road safety challenge lies within slowly moving unstable terrain in the vicinity of roads, railways and waterways that is not monitored at all. Dismantling of parts of the mass would result in severe damage to the infrastructure and vehicles/persons passing by.

Vienna Airport Ground Handling Services is a leading full-service provider with more than 70 years of experience and around 1,800 employees across all operational areas.
Through a structured, company-wide safety initiative, we have reached up to 1,800 employees, achieving an 88% participation rate across the workforce.
Our programme delivers more than 9,000 hours of safety training, evaluation, and preparation, across 10+ targeted safety interventions, addressing key behavioural risks such as distraction, substance influence, and unsafe driving.
This holistic and scalable approach has resulted in a 9% year-on-year reduction in accidents on average, alongside a clear and measurable decline in operational incidents.
Beyond measurable impact, we have established a sustainable, organization-wide safety culture, embedding safety leadership and accountability at all levels.
We believe this combination of quantifiable results, behavioural transformation, and organizational commitment positions us as a best-practice example for road safety excellence in the aviation sector.

Roadside workers are among the most exposed and least protected road users in Europe. Every day, road maintenance crews, recovery operators and temporary workers perform their duties only a few meters away from live traffic.
According to the Spanish Traffic Authority (DGT), seven roadside workers were killed on interurban roads in Spain in 2024: five tow-truck operators and two road maintenance and conservation workers. Similar risks exist across Europe wherever temporary roadworks, lane closures or roadside interventions take place.
Research by RACE-GOODYEAR and Ponle Freno-AXA has shown that a significant proportion of pedestrian fatalities on roads occur during signaling and roadside intervention activities, particularly in low-visibility conditions and on high-speed roads.
The underlying challenge is operational blindness. Temporary work zones have traditionally been protected through physical signage and manual reporting. Control centres often have limited real-time visibility of the exact location and status of roadside operations. If a cone is displaced, knocked over or removed, there is no automatic notification. Drivers only become aware of the hazard when they physically see the work zone, sometimes too late to react safely.
Our initiative addresses this challenge by transforming temporary roadside hazards into digital, real-time traffic events that can be shared instantly across the connected mobility ecosystem.
