Abstract
ITS Applications have in recent years assisted in
reducing the number of fatalities in Europe. However,
Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) have not benefited as much
as vehicle users. The EU-sponsored VRUITS project
assesses the safety and mobility impacts of ITS
applications for VRUs, assesses the impacts of current
and upcoming ITS applications on the safety and mobility
of VRUs, identifies how the usability and efficiency of
ITS applications can be improved, and recommends which
actions have to be taken at a policy level to improve ITS
safety and mobility. This paper describes the results of
the first phase of the project, in which the critical
scenarios for VRUs are identified starting from accident
data analysis, and following a user needs based on focus
groups and expert interviews. From this basis, the most
promising ITS applications for VRUs are selected
according to their potential to address the specific
needs of VRUs
