The EU Road Safety Cluster has published a new white paper titled “Advancing Road Safety Through Data: Challenges, Solutions, and Policy Insights from EU Road Safety Projects”, bringing together insights from multiple EU-funded research and innovation initiatives working to improve road safety and automated mobility across Europe.
CAMBER is proud to be among the contributing projects, together with its sister projects EvoRoads and iDriving. As a Horizon Europe initiative focused on safer urban and secondary roads, CAMBER brings specific expertise in integrating safety and maintenance systems, leveraging new-generation data sources, and developing digital twin frameworks tailored to secondary road environments. Through its pilots across Europe, CAMBER demonstrates how high-quality, interoperable and well-governed data can enable proactive and evidence-based decision-making aligned with the EU’s Vision Zero objectives.
The white paper examines persistent challenges in road safety data, including fragmentation, under-reporting, inconsistent definitions, limited coverage of vulnerable road users, and constraints related to data governance and privacy. Drawing on experiences from Horizon Europe and Erasmus+ projects, it highlights innovative solutions such as AI-based analytics, digital twin models and federated data spaces, areas where CAMBER actively contributes through its real-world testing and validation activities.
By consolidating lessons learned across projects, the white paper provides clear policy recommendations to strengthen data governance, improve interoperability, address under-reporting through data linkage, and accelerate the deployment of digital infrastructures that support safer, smarter, and more resilient mobility systems.
For CAMBER, participation in this joint publication reinforces the project’s commitment to ensuring that its research results contribute not only to pilot demonstrations, but also to broader European policy discussions and long-term road safety improvements.
