Please tell us how the work was designed / adapted for a single country / region / market.

For the past few years, cycling is on the rise in Belgium. More and more Belgians are using their bike for both recreational and commuting purposes, especially in cities. (+64% in 2020) However, infrastructure is lagging behind. Government investments are unable to follow the sharp increase of cyclists, resulting in unfit and dangerous situations for all road users. This led to the fact that, although fatal traffic accidents in Belgium have halved the last 15 years, fatal accidents involving cyclists have risen by 25%. In most cases, the blind spot is one of the main causes of serious or fatal bicycle accidents. As far back as 2004, Volvo already tried to deal with this problem by creating the first blind spot detector. Today, with the increasing number of cyclists on city roads, we found it appropriate to highlight the importance of its BLIS (Blind Spot Information) system once more.
