Pedestrian routing is a vital aspect of ensuring safe and enjoyable pedestrian movement in urban environments. This paper presents an innovative urban environment developed in Thessaloniki that focuses on selecting optimal routes based on time, ease, and accessibility while ensuring the safety of pedestrians. The project utilizes cutting-edge technologies, smart urban infrastructure, data analysis tools, and the integration of smart citizens’ mobile devices to improve individual and collective safety perceptions. With a methodology that promotes the movement of Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) and encourages avoiding congested and pollution-prone areas, this project sets a new standard in urban planning that prioritizes the safety and well-being of its citizens. The project incorporates advanced technologies such as GPS, sensor data, Bluetooth detectors, and telecommunications to provide precise guidance and solutions, considering traffic conditions, road characteristics, and user preferences. By collecting real-time data and tracking people and objects, this project reinforces the actions of volunteers and local authorities in promoting safety during pedestrian movements.
