NEW 16.10.2025 Transport Technologies EU project MITHOS: AIT develops innovative AI solutions for the management of multimodal transport infrastructures The European research project MITHOS was launched in September with a kick-off event in San Sebastián, Spain. The high-profile consortium brings together 14 partner organisations from seven European countries and is working to develop an innovative, AI-supported decision support system for monitoring, redesigning and maintaining multimodal transport infrastructures. The aim is to manage roads, railways, cycle paths and ports more efficiently, safely and sustainably. 4005 Characters 4 Images
NEW 02.10.2025 Transport Technologies SARA: Safe cycling at any age AIT Austrian Institute of Technology researches cycling skills for better road safety The number of cycling accidents in Austria has increased significantly over the past ten years. Particularly striking is the rise in single-vehicle accidents, the causes of which are manifold – from lack of riding experience to distraction and inadequate infrastructure. To counteract these developments, the SARA research project – Safe Cycling at Any Age – is systematically investigating cycling skills in Austria for the first time. The aim of the project is to collect reliable data and use it to develop specific recommendations for training, awareness-raising and infrastructure. 4091 Characters 3 Images
