- Reducir el riesgo de los trabajadores en carretera a través de una baliza incorporada al cono, para mejorar su visibilidad, especialmente por la noche y en momentos de baja luz.
- Dar información a los usuarios para prevenir la presencia de obras en la carretera, mediante apps y navegadores.
- Mejorar el trámite con las autoridades de gestión del tráfico, informando a tiempo real de dónde se están haciendo los trabajos de conservación y mantenimiento de carreteras.
- Tener datos de gestión de obras, como un mapa de actuaciones, horas de trabajo, zonas de obras...

Obstakelvrije voetpaden, het waarneembaar maken van drempels voor blinde en slechtziende voetgangers aan de hand van een campagne vanuit het perspectief van blinde en slechtziende weggebruikers. Team Trottoir is een campagne waarin we zowel mensen met als zonder visuele beperking aansporen om obstakels in de kijker te zetten. Symfoon wil weggebruikers en lokale overheden in hun eigen omgeving bewust maken van het belang van een vrij voetpad om de veiligheid van blinde en slechtziende mensen te verhogen. Eén van de belangrijkste uitdagingen voor mensen met een visuele beperking is mobiliteit en verkeersveiligheid. Door een verminderd zicht of het ontbreken van zicht wordt een groot stuk van de autonomie ingeperkt en wordt zich verplaatsen als voetganger veelal de enige mogelijkheid. Daarom is het uiterst belangrijk dat we deze enige kans tot verplaatsing in een zo veilig mogelijke context stimuleren. Een toegankelijk voetpad is dus allereerst obstakelvrij.

In Ireland, 43% of Learner Drivers practice unaccompanied, leading to an average of 10-12 fatal road collisions amongst this cohort annually.
This dissertation examined and investigated the Learner Driving process currently established in Ireland with a view to evaluating its effectiveness.
As part of the EDT programme in Ireland, learner drivers are recommended to undertake 36 hours of supervised driving. There is no requirement to log these hours currently unlike international best practice where supervised training hours are logged. When learner driver practice hours are required to be logged in Ireland, there will be a cohort of drivers who are unable to access a vehicle or sponsor for on-road driving practice.
