Intersection Safety Insights

Intersection Safety Insights provides visibility into events of vehicles running the traffic light and creating potential safety issues.

Red-light runners are a nation-wide road ‘pandemic’. Their speed and unexpected impact are what makes this kind of traffic incident so deadly and are the most common cause of all urban crashes. The Federal Highway Administration estimates that more than 165,000 pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists are injured annually by red-light runners – killing more than 2 people on average every day.

The event is captured once there is a vehicle entrance in red or yellow clearance, or in the worst-case scenario, when there is a conflict with another phase which has green light. All events are prioritized by a severity level and Traffic Practitioners are provided a wider picture about the problematic approaches that might cause unsafe vehicle entrances.

Intersection Safety Insights provides the ability to:

• Identify the most dangerous and high-risk intersections based on frequency and severity of events
• Drill down into each intersection and understand the trends and causes (such as time of day, volume, signal timing, etc.) which lead to safety events
• Validate traffic light running events by video replay highlighting traffic signal status and detailed information about the road user such as distance from stop line, speed, etc.
• Quantify improvement after deploying safety countermeasures by comparing before and after data

Top-Line Benefits:

• Enable the traffic practitioner to identify there is a problem
• Understand the causality in a data-driven approach
• Develop, implement and Measure effective safety measures

Features and Capabilities:

• Provides a detailed analysis of the trends and problem areas of red-light running in an intersection & at city levels
• Offers actionable insights to reduce the potential risk from future red-light running
• Sorts incidents by classification type (Tier 1,2,3)
• Provides comparative analysis to determine the effectiveness of different red-light running countermeasures
• Sorts incidents by customizable parameters – time of day, amount per month/week/day/hour
• Shows areas of improvement and decline
• Sorts incidents by roadway user type
• Validates red-light running events
