As part of its ongoing participation in the EU Road Safety Cluster, the iDriving consortium took part in the SOTERIA Stakeholder Validation Workshop, an online session dedicated to shaping policy recommendations for deploying innovative solutions that improve road safety for vulnerable road users (VRUs) across EU cities.
This workshop was the second in SOTERIA’s validation series, building on insights gathered during the first session held in May 2025. The goal was to validate earlier input and identify concrete actions that will feed into SOTERIA’s final recommendations. The resulting policy document is expected to be submitted to the European Commission, supporting Vision Zero and the Safe System approach.
Four focus areas for practical, deployable recommendations
Discussions were structured around four intervention areas that matter most when moving from pilots to scalable deployment:
- Technological interventions to enable safer VRU mobility through tools, services and data-driven safety intelligence
- Infrastructure interventions that translate safety goals into street-level design and operational measures
- Training and awareness interventions to support safer behaviour, acceptance, and effective use of solutions
- Policy, regulatory and legal interventions to remove barriers and create enabling conditions for uptake
Why iDriving’s participation matters
For iDriving, joining cluster-led workshops like SOTERIA’s is a practical way to ensure that infrastructure-focused innovation connects with the broader European road safety agenda – especially on VRU protection in urban settings. By contributing to shared policy discussions, iDriving supports cross-project learning and helps build a stronger, more coherent evidence base for adoption by public authorities and stakeholders across Europe.
