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 POLIS Network in Brussels.
De door de EU gefinancierde ‘Project 'Voorspellende benaderingen voor een veiligere stedelijke omgeving' (PHOEBE) Het project heeft als doel de verkeersveiligheid van kwetsbare weggebruikers te vergroten, met name diegenen die gebruikmaken van actieve mobiliteitshulpmiddelen en elektrische scooters. Het bouwt voort op de sterke punten van de verkeersveiligheidsbeoordelingsinstrumenten van iRAP en de simulatie- en kunstmatige intelligentietechnologie van AIMSUN om geharmoniseerde, geïntegreerde en toonaangevende instrumenten voor veiligheidsvoorspellingen te leveren die rekening houden met geslacht, leeftijd en vaardigheidsniveau bij het ontwerpen van toekomstige mobiliteitsoplossingen.
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 EU-cluster voor verkeersveiligheid. 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.
