Mobility has a vital impact on the quality of life in a city. Yet, traditional modes of car-centric transportation models generate large externalities that must be tackled by cities - such as congestion, noise and air pollution. The Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg in Germany is striving for a mobility transition, making mobility more sustainable and environmentally friendly. The city wants to change the mobility behaviour by strengthening the means of transport that are causing less impact on the environment and climate. By 2030, the goal is to increase the share of cycling, walking and public transport to a total of 80 per cent of all routes travelled. Cycling, which is especially cost- and space-efficient, plays a crucial role here. More specifically, the share of all joumeys made by bike should be increased by 25-30 per cent within this decade. Within the framework of Hamburg's strategy of lntelligent Transport Systems (ITS), the city fosters, develops and conducts ITS-projects that focus, amongst others, on cycling. In order to increase the proportion of cycling, it is essential to promote its attractiveness. A cycling infrastructure that ensures smooth and easy cycling within the city is vital for a competitive alternative to motorised private transport. Furthermore, people enjoy cycling when they feel comfortable and safe [e.g. 3]. The ITS-project PrioBilce-HH follows this approach and addresses both topics: cycling comfort and safety. This abstract focuses on the aspect of safety.
