The goal of this international consortium is to develop and test in pilot cities the URBAN-i Box – a special bicycle sensor that monitors the interaction of cyclists, pedestrians, and cars in a dynamic urban environment through video, GPS, and other sensors. An important part of the project is the creation of a platform, based on UPC’s CIGO! the system, for data evaluation and analysis of crisis situations or accidents. Škoda Auto then focuses its efforts on creating a communication platform between the car, pedestrian, cyclist, and other infrastructure.
