We see transportation differently

When standard instruments failed to detect chromium compounds in the air, Romana Michalicová refused to settle for a compromise. She modified a high-performance chromatograph herself, thereby eliminating errors and achieving completely accurate measurements. Read how her scientific ingenuity made it possible to accurately monitor previously invisible risks.

A CDV study revealed that non-exhaust traffic emissions are a significant source of chromium in Brno’s air. The research also described seasonal changes in the occurrence of health-relevant chromium species in particulate matter.

A new international meta-analysis confirms that 30 km/h speed interventions reduce crashes, injuries and vehicle speeds. The greatest benefits are achieved through area-wide schemes combined with traffic-calming measures.

Railway experts met in Brno to discuss the causes of signal passed at danger incidents, prevention measures and new tools aimed at improving railway operational safety.

Regular evaluation of local BESIP strategies helps cities respond to changes in accident trends, update action plans and improve the effectiveness of road safety measures.

In April, our colleague Adam Skokan attended one of Asia’s largest automotive trade shows—AMPA in Taiwan.
