How great the safety ris k is, depends mainly on the shape and size of the road unevenness. Bicyclists ar e considered a particularly vulnerable group. In addition, road unevenness also causes inconveniences for the drivers and passengers in the motor vehicles. Howe ver, reliable and region-specific data about the presence and type of such road unevenness do not exist. Creating hazard maps is described, for example, in Germ an Patent Application No. DE 10 2010 055 370 A1.
