Cities plan to revitalize sustainable transportation, with a key emphasis on cycling. However, cities need to provide safe environments for cyclists through better infrastru.cture design. education programs, or other interventions to increase cycling nwnbers, as safety concerns greatly discourage people from cycling.
Thus, cities' strategies aim to protect and improve the safety ofthose who cycle.
Here, cycling research con1ributes to understanding cycling and what factors related to the individua4 the bicycle, and the surrounding environm.ent, in.fluence the risk. cyclists face. Objective cycling safety goals are to i) decrease the outcome severity of accidents involving cyclists and ii) decrease the overall nwnber of accidents. lt is often based on accident records or police reports, yet most incidents are often not reported. Nevertheless, accident statistics are vital because they allow for factors such as demographic data and built environment tobe analyzed to understand cyclists' risk. ofbeing involved or injured in an accident.
There is a worldwide need for more data about cycling accidents, their context, and the built environm.ent's influence. Hence complete datasets are required. We mak:e use of CYCLANDS - a collection of 30 datasets comprising 1.58M cycling accident records - to explore how other data and analysis can complement accident records. Thus, a subset of CYCLANDS was augmented to analyze circulation spaces around accident locations. We hope this takes a step in that direction, fostering the mix of authoritative and volunteered data and providing a more complete data set.
