The PHOEBE consortium gathered for its biannual meeting last week at the Technical University of Delft in The Netherlands, where they planned the remaining twelve months of the project, set to conclude in July 2026. In addition, a second review meeting was held with the European Commission at the offices of Réseau POLIS in Brussels.
Financé par l'UE ‘Projet ’ Approches prédictives pour un environnement urbain plus sûr » (PHOEBE) vise à renforcer la sécurité routière des usagers vulnérables, en particulier ceux qui recourent à la mobilité active et aux trottinettes électriques. Il s’appuie sur les atouts des outils d’évaluation de la sécurité routière de iRAP ainsi que sur les capacités de simulation et d’intelligence artificielle d’AIMSUN pour proposer des outils de prévision de la sécurité harmonisés, intégrés et à la pointe au niveau mondial, qui tiennent compte du genre, de l’âge et des niveaux de capacité dans le cadre de la mobilité de demain.
What was discussed?
Although PHOEBE cannot disclose any sensitive deliverables from ‘Work Package 3’, its finalisation marked a significant milestone towards the project’s conclusion. High-level summaries of the results will be published on the PHOEBE website in the coming weeks.
Internal discussions focused on the division of tasks within Work Package 5: ‘systems integration and transferability’. This package will synthesise the data collection, analyses, tests, and other outputs from the previous work packages, by consolidating and meaningfully combining the acquired knowledge. This capstone task will culminate in a set of recommendations to be presented at the end of the project.
Further planning also took place for forthcoming communication activities and potential future collaboration with the Cluster sur la sécurité routière de l'UE. A positive initial reflection was made on recent events, such as the ITS Congress 2025.
How will PHOEBE continue to involve the wider community?
The participating partners have begun to make initial plans for an additional meeting in late spring 2026 with the project’s dedicated community of practice expert group.
PHOEBE invites you to register for its upcoming newsletter to be shared soon.
