The Spatial Use Collision Risk Model (Raumnutzungs-Kollisionsmodell | RKRM) is an analytical tool designed to assess and minimise potential conflicts between different types of spatial use. It is particularly applied in urban planning, transport planning and environmental management. The model considers interactions between various actors—such as drivers, pedestrians, cyclists and wildlife—as well as the influence of infrastructure, including roads, pathways and buildings.

At its core, the RKRM aims to develop preventive measures to reduce the risk of accidents or disturbances in public spaces. To achieve this, data on traffic patterns, user behaviour and geographical conditions are collected and analysed. Using simulations and scenario analyses, potential risk areas can be identified and targeted measures derived, such as improved signage, adjustments to traffic flow or the creation of safe crossing zones.

A key advantage of the Spatial Use Collision Risk Model is its flexibility, as it can be adapted to various contexts, including urban environments, rural areas or special events. Implementing such models not only enhances safety but also improves quality of life by promoting harmonious coexistence in public spaces.

In the planning of nature conservation areas or recreational landscapes, the RKRM can help better manage interactions between humans and nature, thereby minimising both ecological and social risks.
