通过利用Vianova与HERE Technologies的洞察，柏林正致力于使城市街道更加安全。

By using insights from Vianova and HERE Technologies, Berlin is on a mission to make its streets safer.

“当你遇到车祸幸存者，或那些失去亲人的家长时，你才会真正意识到自己工作的现实意义，”卡斯塔涅表示，“尽管克服重重障碍的过程充满挑战，但你知道自己在为公共利益服务。”他们正共同应对一项艰巨而紧迫的挑战：重新思考过去以汽车为中心的街道设计，将其转变为对所有使用者——而不仅仅是驾驶员——而言更安全、更宜居的空间。“如今，市政部门或公共机构面临的一个挑战是，很难处理大量交通数据集，”卡斯塔涅指出。如果没有合适的系统支持，要理解“大数据”——例如实时车速、事故高发点和拥堵模式——变得极为困难。这导致规划者只能依赖经验推测，而非扎实证据来判断诸如降低限速或封闭道路等措施究竟会在何处产生最大影响。 借助HERE Technologies与Vianova的洞察，柏林正在重新构想其道路系统，以优先保障全体市民的安全与宜居性。Vianova帮助城市从已有海量交通数据中提取价值。其软件整合了从实时交通状况到共享出行工具（如电动滑板车和出租车）等各类信息，使城市团队能够更清晰地了解街道的真实使用情况。“简而言之，我们为市政部门和基础设施管理者提供一套软件解决方案，帮助他们汇聚数据，并提供交通与出行管理工具，”卡斯塔涅表示。该系统具备三大核心能力：处理海量数据——可接收通常超出标准城市系统处理能力的实时数据流；将数字转化为地图——用户不再面对电子表格，而是通过直观的可视化地图识别事故多发路口或超速热点；简化数据使用——借助AI工具，用户只需提出问题即可生成报告和图表，让不具备专业技能的人也能轻松开展复杂分析。 柏林的目标与巴塞罗那的“超级街区”理念相似：通过重新设计社区，减少过境交通，将更多空间还给居民。这项研究将持续至2028年3月31日，确保能持续、全面地评估这些改变的实际影响。“本质上，他们正试图规划并持续衡量交通减速措施的有效性，”卡斯塔涅说，“如何既减少车辆占用的空间，又降低车辆在城市中的行驶速度？”这些数据使规划者能够评估关键安全指标，例如“速度第85百分位”，从而识别出超速严重且危险的路段。 展望未来，这一合作的意义远不止于缓解拥堵或改善交通流畅度。“我们努力让生活变得更轻松，”他补充道，“这些工具不应成为市民抵制的对象，而应真正帮助每个人在日常生活中实现更安全、更便捷的生活。”

"When you meet crash survivors or the parents of those who didn't make it, you realize the real-world impact of your work," said Castagne. "As much of a struggle as it is to get through all the hurdles, you know you're serving the public good." Together, they are taking on a tough but urgent challenge: rethinking historic, car-first streets and turning them into places that feel safer and more livable for everyone who uses them, not just drivers. "One of the challenges today that municipalities or public authorities have is that it's very difficult for them to handle large amount of mobility data sets," said Castagne. Without the right systems in place, making sense of “big data”—like live traffic speeds, crash hotspots and congestion patterns—becomes incredibly tough. That leaves planners relying on educated guesses instead of solid evidence when deciding where measures such as lower speed limits or street closures will make the biggest difference. With insights from HERE Technologies and Vianova, Berlin is reimagining its roads to prioritize safety and livability for all. Vianova helps cities make sense of the mountain of transportation data they already have. Its software pulls together information on everything from live traffic conditions to shared transportation like e-scooters and taxis, giving city teams a clearer picture of how their streets are really being used. "In a nutshell, we provide a software solution to municipalities and infrastructure managers who aggregate data and provide traffic and mobility management tools," Castagne said. Handling huge amounts of data: it can absorb live data streams that would normally be too big or messy for standard city systems to cope with. Turning numbers into maps: instead of spreadsheets, users see intuitive visual maps that highlight issues like crash-prone junctions or speeding hotspots. Making data easier to use: AI tools let users create reports and charts just by asking questions, opening up complex analysis to people without specialist skills. Berlin’s aim is similar to Barcelona’s “superblocks” idea: redesigning neighbourhoods to cut through-traffic and give more space back to people. The study will run until March 31st, 2028, allowing the impact of these changes to be measured properly, not just once, but continuously. "They're essentially looking to plan and then measure the efficiency of traffic calming measures," said Castagne. "How do you reduce both actually the space that cars take, but also the speed that cars drive around the city?" This data allows planners to evaluate critical safety metrics, such as the "85th percentile of speed," which helps identify segments where speeding is excessive and dangerous. Looking ahead, this partnership is about much more than easing congestion or smoothing traffic flow. “We’re trying to make life easier for people,” he added. “These tools shouldn’t be something citizens push back against. They should genuinely help make day-to-day life safer and simpler for everyone.”
