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.

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.

A new CDV study shows that the effectiveness of traffic calming measures may decrease over time as drivers gradually become accustomed to them and their impact on speed reduction weakens.

A new CDV study classified Czech municipalities into seven groups based on accident rates, transport investments and road safety activities, providing a basis for more effective safety policies.

A record-low number of road fatalities was recorded in 2025. A new CDV analysis evaluates progress towards the BESIP Strategy 2021–2030 targets and highlights areas requiring further safety improvements.

A new study by the Transport Research Centre shows that around 10% of Czech e-cyclists use modified pedelecs. These riders are more likely to engage in risky behaviour and have higher crash involvement.

The study analyzes skid resistance development and its relation to pavement texture and traffic load, highlighting the role of aggregate quality and alternative parameters.

The study presents a methodology for using virtual tracks in autonomous vehicle navigation, highlighting benefits for accuracy and safety in GNSS-limited environments and outlining key technical and legislative aspects of deployment.
