Urban traffic safety addresses the patterns, causes, and prevention of crashes and injuries in city transport systems, with emphasis on vulnerable road users such as pedestrians, cyclists, and micromobility riders. Research in this area examines how infrastructure design, speed limits, automated enforcement, vehicle technologies, and regulatory frameworks influence crash risk and severity. It also evaluates mode shifts, electrification, and behavioral factors, using statistical and machine learning methods to guide policies that reduce fatalities while reshaping urban space and mobility choices.
