Vulnerable road users in particular, whether on bicycles or on foot, are often more sensitive to dangers in road traffic. Their subjective feeling of insecurity at certain points can sometimes lead them to choose the car for their daily journeys. However, in order to achieve climate targets and reduce CO2 emissions, many cities want to reduce car traffic in the city and increase cycling, walking and public transport.
But how do you as a municipality convince your citizens to participate in the mobility transition? Let them participate in a structured way and provide targeted information via the portal and app www.gefahrenstellen.de to actively involve people from your municipality.

Citizen reports combined with accident data
The traffic-related participation platform and app gefahrenstellen.de makes it possible to obtain the subjective feeling of safety of road users quickly and easily via a survey. The scientifically developed, clearly structured reporting procedure is based on the police accident report form and facilitates automated merging with other data. This is because the innovative danger score methodology is used to evaluate the feedback collected from citizens with objective data such as official accident data and safety-critical driving maneuvers. The resulting picture of the road safety situation can then be incorporated into traffic planning or bicycle traffic planning.
Flexibility depending on the area of application
Depending on the application, the survey can be adapted to cyclists, pedestrians or topics such as school routes, misconduct or illegal sidewalk parking. Unsafe places and areas of fear can also be reported. Additional reporting categories, supplementary questions or a defect detector can be flexibly integrated.
Municipalities can also decide for themselves where the reporting option should be placed, on their own municipal portal, via our platform gefahrenstellen.de or schulwege.de or a newly created independent website (which we are happy to help create). The duration of the reporting option is also freely selectable, whether continuously or only for a specific period. And the local authority can decide whether all reports should only be posted internally or whether they should also be visible to everyone on the portal.
Save time with filters and summaries
Public participation depends on as many people as possible taking part in order to obtain a representative picture. With our reporting platform, you need not fear the mass of reports. Regardless of whether hundreds or even thousands of reports are received, the structured recording, filter options and functionalities for summarizing the top 10, top 20 or top 30 reported jobs, for example, allow you to keep an eye on all the most important information at the touch of a button without having to manually aggregate all the reports in time-consuming detail.
SMART access for editing and other exclusive data
Via your individual access to the SMART platform, you have the option of viewing, filtering and editing the reports received with all anonymized detailed data. You can use the automated evaluation logic to display the reports in the form of a ranking according to activity level, number of supporters and other criteria. In addition, the calculated hazard score map can be integrated into your administration’s IT systems via an interface so that other traffic-related departments within your administration can also use the data for a digital situation report. Another advantage is the official comment function, which you can use to present your plans and show citizens in concrete terms how much more liveable their city can become as a result of the traffic turnaround.
