Mobility software from PTV Group will be used by CycleRAP in projects to map cycling safety that will be run in five cities this autumn. PTV said it is working with the International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP), the non-profit institution Fundacion Mapfre and the Union Cyclist Internationale to run the CycleRAP risk assessment model. CycleRAP, an evidence-based infrastructure risk evaluation model, has been designed to help cities better address the safety of their street and bicycle routes specifically for improving light mobility. In order to showcase best practices, the application of this model will be tested in Madrid and Barcelona in Spain, the Colombian capital Bogota, Sao Paulo in Brazil and in Fayetteville in the US state of Arkansas. The project works with local partners to identify network risks and produce maps showing how safe the infrastructure is for use by cyclists and users of other types of mobility vehicles. It will also be the first application of the model in Spain and outside Europe. |
