This study focuses on providing meaningful information to vulnerable road users (VRUs) to support their objectives and perceptions while navigating urban spaces, employing a novel route planning concept. Through three focus group sessions, a comprehensive survey was conducted to identify the needs and concerns of VRUs, leading to the development of an integrated and collaborative mobile application for active mobility. The application encompasses route calculation, prioritizing safety, comfort, civic participation, and empathy. The solution aims to bridge citizen users and city managers, facilitating alerts, historical information on safety and comfort, and collaborative problem-solving and sharing of urban attractions. A prototype of the concept was developed and extensively tested by potential users, and subjective evaluation and feedback demonstrated the usefulness and added value of the integrated and collaborative approach. This study highlights the proposed solution relevance and differentiation from official alerts, user experiences, and civic participation, positioning it as a comprehensive solution for active mobility.
