Observed Risk and User Perception of Road Infrastructure Safety Assessment for Cycling Mobility

The opportunities for data collection in smart cities and communities provide new approaches for assessing risk of roadway components. This paper presents and compares two different methodological approaches for cycling safety assessment of objective and perceived risk. Objective risk was derived fr...
