DyNaMo Safe and sustainable mobility in the city of tomorrow – AI assistance systems for cycling

Traffic accidents are among the most common causes of death among children and young adults up to 29 years of age worldwide. The DyNaMo project is therefore dedicated to promoting safe and sustainable mobility with a special focus on cycling and researches innovative approaches to increase road safety.
A central goal is the AI-supported analysis of driving behavior (AI: artificial intelligence). This will allow measures to be developed for a safer cycling infrastructure. It is also possible to use it to research training programs for cyclists. We are laying the foundations for legally compliant AI assistance systems that are intended to support and protect cyclists.
The project pursues an interdisciplinary approach and combines the disciplines of computer science, law, traffic psychology and transport science. AI methods such as transformer models are used to record driving behavior with the help of wearables and vehicle sensors.
