New publication by Laura Ringel, Dr. Clemens Kielhauser and Prof. Bryan Adey in the Journal of Safety Research!
The Chair of Infrastructure Management of Prof. Bryan Adey congratulates Laura Ringel and Dr. Clemens Kielhauser on the publication of the article "Wider view over bicycle crashes: Complementing and extending bicycle crash statistics in urban areas using surveys" in the Journal of Safety Research.
In their article, Laura Ringel and Dr. Clemens Kielhauser demonstrate how surveys on bicycle crashes can be used to aid urban planners in making infrastructure decisions. In addition to confirming the location and characteristics of reported crashes, surveys can uncover characteristics of crashes that are not reported to the police, situations in which a crash almost occurred, and locations perceived by cyclists to be dangerous. They also show that surveys can help urban planners investigate non-infrastructure related causes of crashes, such as the frequency with which individual cyclists use other modes of transportation. The usefulness of surveys in the determination of urban cycling safety is demonstrated in this paper using survey results from the city of Zurich in 2018.
