Introduction

VIA-Taxi represents a groundbreaking effort in traffic safety and digital innovation that not only redefines the landscape for safe personal transportation but also offers a vision for a safer and more sustainable future connected to urban mobility. By combining the Nordic's leading taxi network, Cabonline, with the latest cloud-based technology in traffic safety and data analysis, ZeZo Score, VIA-Taxi aims to create a future where traffic accidents are rare and where drivers and passengers can feel secure.

An innovative partnership for increased safety

VIA-Taxi represents a unique collaboration between Cabonline and Nollzon Green Tech along with its partners KTH, EIT, Chalmers SAFER, and others. By collecting and analyzing traffic safety data from various sources such as taxis, electric scooters, and electric mopeds, VIA-Taxi creates a comprehensive and real-time picture of traffic conditions. This enables not only reacting to accidents and dangerous situations but also preventing them before they occur through the analysis of "near-misses" and less favorable driver behaviors. The result is increased insight into existing or potential problem areas in the city's traffic ecosystem.

Driver safety at the forefront

One of the most exciting aspects of VIA-Taxi is its focus on driver safety and well-being. By integrating ZeZo Score technology into its operations, Cabonline takes a significant step towards ensuring that their drivers are safer on the roads. This not only improves the working environment and safety for the drivers but also enhances the security for their passengers and other road users.

Scalable business models for a safer future

VIA-Taxi is not just about safety. It is also about creating business models based on close collaboration between stakeholders - government, universities, and industry - to drive innovation and growth in the transport sector. By developing scalable business models for the management and sharing of traffic safety data, the project paves the way for a future where safety and profitability go hand in hand. This opens up new business opportunities and innovations within the industry.

International impact and future perspectives

Through its partnership with EIT Urban Mobility Innovation Hub North, VIA-Taxi's impact extends far beyond the Nordic borders. This creates opportunities for knowledge exchange and international scaling of project results, further strengthening its position as a true pioneer in traffic safety and digital innovation. The project has the potential to not only shape the future of personal transportation in the Nordic region but also influence the global discussion on traffic safety and innovation.

VIA-Taxi is more than just a technical project. It is a vision for a safer, more efficient, and more sustainable future in urban mobility. With its unique approach and clear focus on innovation and safety, VIA-Taxi is ready to shape the future of traffic safety and transportation.
