EU Road Safety Cluster
The EU Road Safety Cluster is a collaborative platform bringing together EU-funded projects working to advance safer, smarter and more sustainable mobility across Europe. By fostering collaboration between complementary initiatives, the Cluster helps maximise the impact of European research, accelerate knowledge exchange, and support the uptake of innovative solutions by policymakers, road authorities and industry. In particular, it promotes the development of innovative, data-driven approaches that support the EU Road Safety Policy Framework 2021-2030 and contribute to achieving the long-term Vision Zero ambition of eliminating road deaths and serious injuries.
As of July 2026, CAMBER is leading the Cluster, coordinating its activities and strengthening cooperation between member projects.
Member Projects
AI4CCAM
Trustworthy AI for Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility.
AI4CCAM leverages the potential of AI to create trustworthy and ethical models for predicting the behavior of vulnerable road users in urban environments. Its focus on user acceptance of automated vehicles and ethical dilemmas ensures the development of AI systems that people can trust.
Certain
Resilient and continuous safety assurance methodology for CCAM and its HMI components
CERTAIN delivers a resilient, human-centric framework for continuous safety assurance in Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility (CCAM) across Europe. Placing Safety, Trust, Acceptance and Comfort (STAC) at the heart of every vehicle lifecycle stage—from design to deployment—it ensures technology evolves with people in mind.
EVENTS
reliablE in-Vehicle pErception and decisioN-making in complex environmenTal conditionS
EVENTS seeks to overcome the limitations of current Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) by developing a robust and resilient perception and decision-making system that can manage unexpected “events” like adverse weather/light conditions, unstructured road environment, imperfect data, sensor/communication failures, etc., ensuring continuous safe operation in dynamic environments.
Evoroads
Evolutionary Solutions for Realising a Holistic Safe System Approach for All Road Users
EVOROADS develops a connectivity platform that digitalises transport infrastructure assets while enabling the seamless integration of safety assessment services. By leveraging advanced artificial intelligence, EVOROADS analyses infrastructure monitoring data across multiple geospatial scales, providing proactive risk alerts and supporting road operators in managing maintenance more effectively, thereby enhancing both safety and operational efficiency.
FROddo
Federated cybeR-physical infrastructure for ODD cOntinuity
FRODDO is a pioneering research and innovation project funded by the European Union, designed to propel the evolution of connected and automated mobility (CCAM). With the rise of autonomous vehicle technologies, the need for integrated, fail-safe systems that can adapt to various environmental, traffic, and operational conditions has never been greater. FRODDO addresses this challenge by developing a comprehensive suite of methods and tools based on the principles
HEIDI
HEIDI is breaking new ground by designing a cooperative HMI that connects drivers and pedestrians in dangerous situations. With internal and external HMIs, HEIDI adapts in real time to the behaviors and needs of drivers and VRUs.
idriving
iDriving aims to support road users, road managers, and other relevant authorities of urban and rural secondary roads by improving infrastructure through innovative, beyond-state-of-the-art technologies, enabling optimal monitoring, prediction, and warning capabilities to help Europe achieve its road safety goals.
Protact-us
ProtAct-Us aims at protecting all road user groups from serious injury and long-term physical, cognitive and mental health consequences of road crashes, through innovatively interlinked research action between medical and engineering tools.
SAFETEEN
Promote learning and skills among secondary school students to improve hazard perception and balanced decision-making while commuting, through innovative pedagogical tools and ICT interventions tailor-made to their developmental affordances across different social contexts.
SOTERIA
SOTERIA project aims to accelerate the attainment of the EC’s ‘Vision Zero’ goal for vulnerable road users (VRUs) by providing a holistic framework of innovative tools and services. Project partners are committed to designing solutions that promote and achieve safe and green travelling of VRUs, foster integration of electric micro-mobility vehicles in urban environments and enable more inclusive transport.
V4SAFETY
V4SAFETY will provide a prospective safety assessment framework that can handle a large variety of safety measures, ranging from in-vehicle safety technology, infrastructure solutions to regulations that influence road user behaviour. It includes methods to project the results in future scenarios and over EU regions for use by policy makers, authorities and consumer organizations.
