Elliott�Rosenfeld is a Learning Content Developer at Autodesk. I got an email from him the otehr day. I thought I would share it with you. Hi Scott, I read this today and thought it was interesting, along the same vein as Project Commuter: Read the article. "�Zendrive has mashed transbay.org data from 10�years of reported bicycle collisions with its own analytics, collected by using only the sensors on a driver's phone, to create a map showing where in San�Francisco a bicyclist is most likely to have a collision with a distracted driver. "Within the course of our work, we've tracked 1,100�drivers over 37,500�miles across San�Francisco, and measured cell phone use while driving, among many other safety metrics such as speeding or rapid acceleration," according to a report on Zendrive's site. The results show, not surprisingly, that the corridors favored by bicycle commuters � downtown, Panhandle/Lower Haight, SoMa, and the Mission � are also the most dangerous. Thanks, Elliott Thanks Elliot. Alas our Autodesk office is near south of Market�(SoMa) � actually we're on Market Street itself. Using maps to encourage safe cycling is alive in the lab.
