The 38th International Co-operation on Theories and Concepts in Traffic Safety (ICTCT) conference took place in Zagreb on 22-23 October 2026. The conference brings together researchers, practitioners and policy makers engaged in the scientific study of road traffic safety. It provides a multidisciplinary forum for exchanging theories, concepts, methodologies and empirical findings, with a strong emphasis on human behaviour, crash causation and the evaluation of safety measures.
Katia Pagle, representing I-SENSE Group/ICCS, presented the CAMBER Project paper “Crowdsourced Pavement Intelligence for Safer Urban Cycling Infrastructure: Platform Development and Pre-Pilot Evaluation within the CAMBER Project”.
The paper is co-authored by Katia Pagle, Dr. Anna Antonakopoulou, Vangelis Tsougiannis, Giannis Panagiotopoulos, Maria Krikochoriti and Angelos Amditis. It describes a platform being developed for the CAMBER pilot in Trikala, Greece. Cyclists record their usual rides with a mobile app, and an AI model then detects pavement defects in the video, such as cracks and potholes, and places them on a map. Municipal operators review the detections in a web dashboard, while the processed data are published as open data on Zenodo. The aim is to give cities continuous, low-cost information on the condition of their cycling networks, since periodic inspections often identify problems only after they have already affected users.
The paper will be published in the conference proceedings.
CAMBER project aims to develop and demonstrate improved safety monitoring across urban and secondary rural road networks by using real-time data to inform road maintenance systems and implementing cost-effective, proven interventions.
