A tool that optimises road safety for Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) at urban intersections through objective conflict analysis of all possible movements.
Supported by: EIT Urban Mobility
Product Details
A safe infrastructure is fundamental to achieving Vision Zero goals: no fatalities by 2050 and a 50% reduction by 2030. Making informed, data-driven, qualitative decisions is imperative.
Where current tools are based on crash data and video-analytics of near-misses, the ROADSCOR (Road Optimisation Analysis for Design Safety by Conflict Review) methodology enhances safety by being able to look forward and identify critical scenarios according to ISO21448.
The methodology complements existing tooling by providing insights into high-risk traffic conflicts in a structured and reproducible manner, quantifying safety and allowing evaluation of measures and modifications before implementation. An initial assessment demonstrated socio-economic cost savings up to $10 million, including $600,000 direct cost to road authorities, for a single intersection.
