We welcome all readers to the 2nd issue of the SOTERIA newsletter!We are pleased to announce the publication of the 2nd issue of the SOTERIA newsletter. Representing a powerful consortium of 15 mobility and road safety stakeholders in Europe, the Horizon Europe project SOTERIA takes up the challenge to achieve an intelligent, inclusive and safe urban mobility for all. With best wishes,
The SOTERIA team |

SOTERIA project launched a road safety survey across Europe |
|
|
In 2023, SOTERIA Living Labs were launched with the organisation of the first stakeholders' workshops, aiming to hear their voices, collect their ideas and co-create with them new innovative technical solutions that will accompany road users outside the car and promote their safety on the road. As a next step, SOTERIA launched a large-scale Road Safety Survey, a 15-min questionnaire to gather insights on road safety and road users' behaviour. The survey has been largely distributed among the four countries of the four Living Lab, achieving so far more than 600 responses! All data collected are currently being analysed by SOTERIA partners and will help us innovate road safety with new digital solutions. |

Road Safety Survey available in four languages is still open! |

2024’s Transport Research Arena (TRA) conference overall theme was “Transport Transitions: Advancing Sustainable and Inclusive Mobility” with presentations, poster sessions and exhibitions of over 100 partners and nearly 400 speakers. Amongst others, the main themes of the conference this year include “Safe & Inclusive Transport”, “Sustainable Mobility of People and Goods”, and “Collaborative Digitalisation”. SOTERIA is in the heart of all these subject areas, and we are delighted to announce that technical solutions developed in SOTERIA were presented at the conference.
Maria Pohle from Fraunhofer IVI in Germany presented the base approach and first results for a safety assessment of street networks for vulnerable road users and how this can be used to create a safe routing app.

| On 4-5 December 2023, the 2nd General Assembly of all partners of SOTERIA took place in Dresden, Germany. The SOTERIA project aims to support and accelerate the achievement of the EU's "Vision Zero" goal for VRUs. Innovative models, tools and services are designed to promote the secure integration of micromobility in complex urban environments. All partners presented their developments and findings of the last few months and future steps were discussed. Our General Assembly concluded with exciting work planned for the next months.

On 9-10 April 2024, the 3rd General Assembly of all partners of SOTERIA took place in Madrid, Spain. SOTERIA's partners gathered together to strengthen partnerships, foster innovation, and ignite progress in our shared mission towards road safety. Two days of discussions and planning for SOTERIA's future steps towards achieving an inclusiveurban mobilityfor all! |

SOTERIA consortium was very glad to participate in the "Exploitation Strategy Seminar" provided by Giovanni Bendistinto on 20 February 2024, as a part of the Horizon Results Booster service, provided by the European Commission.
A full day of fruitful discussions on SOTERIA's key exploitable results, under the valuable guidance of our assigned expert, that really boosted our exploitation strategy!
Many thanks to all for this excellent workshop! |
