The human factor has repeatedly been shown to be the most critical factor in accidents involving riders. For this reason, lifelong training should be encouraged, reaching out to new and existing motorcyclists. High-quality training is instrumental in achieving the EU safety targets on the way to Vision Zero. To ensure that society fully benefits from all the advantages offered by motorcycles, more work is necessary to further improve the safety record of riders across Europe.

Our initiative addresses critical road safety challenges that are often overlooked in traditional driver education. Most driving schools focus on basic vehicle operation, but not on real-life risk anticipation, distraction management, or defensive mindset.
Key problems tackled by our VR Defensive Driving System include:
Driver distraction, especially due to smartphones and infotainment systems
Poor anticipation of traffic risks, particularly in urban and mixed traffic
Lack of situational awareness and understanding of the “big picture” around the vehicle
Insufficient consideration for other road users, including vulnerable groups
Specific risks related to pedestrians and cyclists, especially in city environments
Our project empowers drivers of all ages and experience levels to build mental habits that keep them and others safe – by learning to observe more, react earlier, and drive smarter.

Das angebotene Training dient der Fahrzeugbeherrschung und für die Selbstermächtigung zur nachfolgenden Ausleihe von Rikschas bei den Initiativen der Freien Lastenrädern, insbesondere der RIKSCHA9 und RIKSCHA9 vom SAI-Lab an der Station vom Stadtteilverein Tiergarten e.V.. Mit der kostenlose Leihe von Rikschas, in den Initiativen der Freien Lastenräder, in Deutschland und Europa, wird einerseits das bürgerliche Teilen und Leihen von Lastenrädern umgesetzt, sowie andererseits vielfache persönliche Beitrag zur nachhaltigen Entwicklung und Mobilitätswende ermöglicht.

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.

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.
