The rapid expansion of (peri-)urban areas across Europe presents a serious sustainability challenge. A modal shift towards cycling is required to achieve sustainable urban mobility, thereby reducing private car dependency, and improving health, air quality and noise pollution. In the project Green and safe routing, the challenge is to develop, validate and test a method that […]
