## Summary

Transport for London is exploring innovative infrastructure and technology-enabled solutions to improve safety and accessibility where people cycling, walking and wheeling interact, particularly at signalised junctions and crossings. The work is intended to improve compliance with traffic controls and pedestrian priority measures, increase pedestrian confidence, support sustainable cycling and build evidence for future investment. Solutions could address infrastructure design, signal operation, monitoring and how different road users interact. TfL is looking for approaches that can be trialled in London and a second European city. The focus is on understanding how behaviour and interactions vary across locations and operating conditions, and finding practical ways to make journeys safer and more comfortable across the transport network.

This is at the planning stage: TfL is conducting market engagement, not inviting tenders or selecting a contractor. It plans to use questionnaire responses to shape an application to EIT Urban Mobility and identify up to 10 organisations for further discussions. TfL expects a consortium of solution providers to trial solutions in London and another European city if funding is secured. Up to €2 million is available across all consortium members. The anticipated trial period is 18 months, with the planned contract period running from July 2027 to December 2028. TfL asks interested organisations to submit questionnaire responses by 13 November 2026. Any later procurement would be conducted separately.

This market engagement is relevant to suppliers developing or delivering cycling and transport infrastructure, traffic-monitoring technology, app-based tools, or evidence and evaluation services. TfL is interested in innovative solutions that can be deployed in two European cities and tested in real urban conditions, especially around junctions and crossings. Suppliers able to show how their approach could improve compliance, safety, accessibility or pedestrian confidence, while generating robust evidence for investment decisions, are well placed to contribute. The engagement may help solution providers explore a collaborative consortium approach and prepare for a potential trial, subject to a successful funding application. TfL invites supporting material such as demonstrations, technical documentation, evaluation reports and case studies.

## Notice

This Market Sounding Questionnaire (MSQ) is issued by Transport for London (TfL). London has seen sustained growth in cycling in recent years, supported by significant investment in cycling infrastructure and the Mayor's ambition for 80% of journeys to be made by walking, wheeling, cycling and public transport by 2041. Today, London has more than 450km of high-quality cycle routes and around 1.5 million cycle journeys are made each day, reflecting cycling's increasingly important role in delivering the Mayor's Transport Strategy and supporting healthier, more sustainable travel choices. As cycling continues to grow, it is important that people walking, wheeling, cycling and using public transport can interact safely, comfortably and confidently across the transport network. Cyclist behaviour is not a major contributor to overall road danger, with motor vehicles continuing to pose the greatest risk to people and cyclists; however, concerns relating to compliance with traffic controls and pedestrian priority measures, particularly at signalised junctions and crossings, are regularly raised through stakeholder engagement, customer correspondence and public consultation. These concerns can affect perceptions of safety, accessibility and confidence, particularly among people walking and wheeling and those who may be less confident travelling in environments with high levels of cycling activity. Existing evidence suggests that behaviour at signalised junctions and crossings is influenced by a range of factors, including infrastructure design, signal operation, pedestrian and cycle flows, gradients, safety perceptions, convenience and social norms. However, TfL currently has limited evidence on how these factors interact, how behaviour varies across different locations and operating conditions, and the nature and frequency of interactions between people cycling and people walking and wheeling. To help address the evidence gaps and identify opportunities for improvement, TfL is interested in exploring innovative infrastructure and technology-enabled solutions that could: Improve compliance with traffic controls and pedestrian priority measures Enhance safety and accessibility Increase pedestrian confidence Support sustainable cycling growth Generate robust evidence to support future investment decisions TfL is seeking innovative solutions that could be trialled in London and another European city as part of an application for funding from EIT Urban Mobility. There is up to 2 million euros available in funding to be spent across all consortium members. TfL will review MSQ responses to put together a consortium of solution providers who, if the bid is successful, will be invited to trial their solutions in London and another European city over an 18-month period. TfL is seeking responses to the below questions that could help identify the possibility of innovative solutions that are deliverable in both London and another European City. This work will form a part of an application for funding from the EIT Urban Mobility initiative. TfL will review the MSQ responses and use the information to identify up to 10 organisations for further market engagement discussions. Responses to this MSQ do not constitute a procurement process, invitation to tender, selection process or commitment by TfL to procure any goods, services or works. There will however be an opportunity to discuss a collaborative approach to joining the bid as a part of a consortium but any funding application, consortium arrangement, trial, pilot or other activity arising from this market engagement shall not constitute the award of a public contract. Should TfL identify a requirement to procure any goods, services or works associated with, or arising from, the funded activity, such procurement will be conducted separately and in accordance with the applicable procurement legislation and TfL's governance requirements. TfL will take appropriate steps to ensure that any information shared through this market engagement is managed in a manner that does not distort competition or provide an unfair advantage in any future procurement process.
