ESA funds innovative projects using satellite technologies to improve road safety, traffic management, and accident prevention through space-based solutions.
Funder: European Space Agency
Due Dates: November 27, 2026
Funding Amounts: €60,000 to €3,000,000+ per activity; zero-equity funding; project duration and amount depend on scope
Summary: Funds innovative space-enabled solutions to improve road safety, traffic management, and accident prevention using satellite technologies.
This funding opportunity supports the development of sustainable, space-based services and applications aimed at addressing road and traffic safety challenges. The call focuses on leveraging satellite Earth observation, navigation, and communication technologies to improve traffic management, incident detection, predictive safety, and information exchange between vehicles and infrastructure. The goal is to reduce road accidents, injuries, and fatalities, adapt to new mobility patterns, and provide scalable, data-driven solutions for safer roads. Projects may target enhanced information exchange, improved road design and maintenance, optimized traffic flow, protection of non-motorised road users, and support for international road safety assessment programs.
