Abstract

The contribution sets new design and methodological processes and resulting from integration of different languages and levels, including the traffic system - vehicles, infrastructures and users; safety - active, passive and preventive; intelligent technology and perceptual experience (tactile interactive pathways and surfaces, acoustic signals, luminous contrasts, etc.). An efficient relational system among the sensors, communications system and intelligent applications connected to vehicles and users on the roads, in terms of active, passive and preventive safety, functionality, environmental sustainability, energy efficiency, economic savings and well-being of people. The identification of strategies aimed to develop the richness of spatial implies the introduction of good practices related to the related to the planning, control and management of road safety which fit within the processes of research, design and testing. The aim is to increase the level of "security" of our cities in an innovative and inclusive way so to make it possible that the largest possible number of people with a disability and able-bodied people could improve their life quality in an easier, safer and broader way. The fruition in “real time” of an information network based on “Smart” sensors, according to an adaptive approach, would guarantee the possibility of a correct integration between the various devices already available to provide adequate levels of road safety, in order to increase these levels by using “spot” information associated to the single user and by recognising his “vulnerabilities”. It is necessary to consider the synergies and objectives of the various traffic's components - vehicle - infrastructure - user system, to operate in an integrated, holistic and coherent manner.
