New technology for evaluating the security effects of new infrastructure

Important results from the project

The purpose of this project was to understand how to use data and new technologies to increase safety on roads and do better planning of infrastructure and policy work. The project manager was RISE, Vianova was responsible for delivering the technology, data and a final report. The City of Helsingborg acted as a subject expert on road safety, infrastructure and policy. The use cases identified are relevant for the city, and the potential of using a mix of data sources has genuine value. If the data can be updated in real time, there are opportunities to supplement today´s planning methods.

Expected long term effects

The use cases identified are relevant for the city. If it is possible to identify relevant correlation between personal injuries and FVD, a tool of this kind can be an important support in the cities´ analysis work. The lack of connected vehicle data for the geography poses significant limits to the potential for robust analysis. The most effective technique for incorporating the data into the city’s operations would be to track the segments where planned interventions are constructed, and then monitor their change in rankings (and the changes in the component risks) on a quarterly basis.
