As urban environments continue to evolve, effective transportation planning will become increasingly crucial. At Spoke, we believe that data will be the key to unlocking smarter, safer, and more efficient mobility solutions. Our advanced VRU2X™ technology will provide insights into how vulnerable road users interact with their environment. This data will be invaluable for city planners looking to optimize traffic flow, reduce congestion, and enhance safety. By analyzing this data, cities will be able to identify high-risk areas and implement targeted safety measures. At Spoke, we are committed to working with our partners to ensure our cities become smarter and safer for everyone. #SmartCities #UrbanMobility #DataDriven #TransportationPlanning #RoadSafety

We are thrilled to announce that Spoke has received the 2024 ITS World Congress Hall of Fame Award for the Americas Region. A heartfelt thank you to the ITS Congresses and Intelligent Transportation Society of America for this tremendous honor. We deeply appreciate their global perspective on the importance of advancing VRU safety. We share their vision that technologies like VRU2X™ and C-V2X will be key to creating safer roads by enabling real-time communication between vehicles and vulnerable road users. We are also incredibly grateful to our partners, whose unwavering support is helping us bring this vision to life, and to all the members of the Coalition for Cycling Safety, who share our passion for enhancing road safety for VRUs. Join the conversation! We are passionate about VRU safety and the future of connected transportation. Connect with us on LinkedIn to learn more about the Coalition for Cycling Safety and how you can get involved. #ITSDubai2024 #VRU2X #CV2X #RoadSafety

In today’s automotive market, safety is a critical differentiator. Technologies like VRU2X™ will soon enable vehicles to communicate directly with VRUs, significantly reducing the risk of crashes and improving overall road safety. For car OEMs, the opportunity is clear: lead the way in integrating VRUs into the mobility ecosystem and make safety a key feature of your vehicles. By proactively incorporating these advanced safety features, OEMs can: - Close the Safety Loop: Ensure a comprehensive safety network that includes all road users. - Build Consumer Loyalty: Show commitment to care for all road users. Most car drivers are bike riders themselves or have kids who ride. - Stay Ahead of Regulations: Meet and exceed evolving safety standards. - Strengthen Market Position: Position your brand as a leader in safety innovation. Stake your claim as a safety leader. At Spoke, we’re driving the future of VRU safety with our upcoming VRU2X™ technology, ensuring that all road users are part of a safer mobility ecosystem.

Great read from one of the true visionaries in mobility. Enjoy!

At Spoke, we are excited by the U.S. Department of Transportation leadership in advancing vehicle-to-everything (V2X) technology with the National V2X Deployment Plan. This strategic roadmap lays the foundation for a safer, more connected transportation network and provides a clear path for stakeholders to contribute to a secure, interoperable V2X ecosystem. We celebrate the DOT’s commitment to fostering collaboration across public and private sectors. The National V2X Deployment Plan is a critical step in ensuring all road users—whether in vehicles, on bikes, or on foot—are connected and protected. Our Commitment: - Enhancing Safety: Our VRU2X™ technology bridges the communication gap between vehicles and vulnerable road users (VRUs), providing both drivers and riders contextual awareness in advance of potential collision points. - Driving Innovation: We are advancing V2X technology to support the DOT’s goals for a safer, smarter, and more sustainable transportation system. - Collaborating for Impact: We proudly collaborate with key stakeholders across the industry to accelerate the deployment of life-saving technologies. Let us work together to create a future where our roads are safer, and every road user is seen, connected, and protected.

As cities continue to grow and urban mobility becomes more complex, the rise in road accidents is a sobering reminder of the urgent need for enhanced safety measures. Recent studies have shown a further increase in urban road accidents involving vulnerable road users (VRUs). The rapid growth of urban populations, coupled with the increasing number of micromobility vehicles like e-bikes and scooters, is increasing the risk of accidents across our cities. Every accident is a stark reminder that our current road safety measures are not enough. The human and economic costs of these accidents are staggering, with lives lost, families impacted, and communities left grappling with the aftermath. We cannot afford to wait—action is needed now. While the statistics paint a grimmer picture, they also highlight the critical need for advanced safety solutions to protect VRUs. By synergizing innovative technologies with improved micromobility infrastructure, there is a promising path to safer roads. The increase in road accidents is a call to action for all stakeholders—governments, businesses, and citizens alike. It's time to prioritize safety, invest in solutions that work, and ensure that every traffic participant is better protected. Together, we can turn these alarming statistics around and pave the way for a safer urban mobility. Let’s act before another life is lost. #RoadSafety #UrbanMobility #VulnerableRoadUsers #SafetySolutions #SpokeSafety

The future of ride safety is not just about protecting the rider—it's about creating a seamless communication network between bikes, vehicles and traffic infrastructure to prevent crashes before they happen. Imagine a world where bikes and cars communicate directly with each other. With Spoke’s advanced VRU2X™ technology, this future is closer than ever. Spoke’s sensor-fusion and communications technology allows bikes to send real-time signals to nearby vehicles, alerting drivers to the presence of a cyclist even when out of sight. Drivers will receive timely warnings and alerts directly on their digital displays when a bike is approaching - significantly reducing the risk of a collision. This proactive safety measure ensures that even in blind spots or low-visibility conditions, bike riders are protected. At Spoke, we believe that collaboration between bike manufacturers, automotive companies, and urban planners is essential to bringing this vision to life. Together, we can lead the change in making our cities and roads safer for all users. Let’s work together to build a safer, smarter future for urban mobility.
