About ISAAC: Stimulating safe walking and cycling within a multimodal transport environment
The ISAAC project develops evidence-based recommendations to achieve modal shift in favour of walking and cycling - without compromising road safety, social security and comfort.
ISAAC brings together research findings and expertise from relevant disciplines including health and care, environment, transport and urban planning and traffic safety.
About ISAAC
ISAAC is a two-year project running from September 2016 until August 2018. The project is funded by CEDR Transnational Road Research Programme Call 2015. Consortium partners are SWOV (NL, Coordinator), VIAS (BE), TU Dresden (DE), TOI (NO) and Polis (BE).
PedBikePlanner
ISAAC developed the PedBikePlanner, a tool that helps planners to identify the most effective and appropriate road safety measures for their city.
Access it here: www.pedbikeplanner.eu
The instrument advises based on local conditions; on current travel patterns and modal split, road safety, the road environment, population and policy ambitions. Implementation costs are also considered in the recommendations. The guide will provide tailored suggestions for appropriate interventions, considering several characteristics of cities, their ambitions and target groups related to modal shift.
Involvement of cities
The draft checklist and guideline will be reviewed and discussed with stakeholders from a number of European cities to test its user-friendliness, its practicality, and its usefulness in different conditions.
