RoadTrace Safety
Better understand where safety risk emerges on your network
RoadTrace Safety provides a clear, data-driven view of driving behaviour and safety risk.
Across your entire road network or within a selected area
Based on real vehicle behaviour
Designed for proactive crash prevention
What
RoadTrace Safety is a cloud-based data analysis solution that automatically identifies high-risk areas on the network and provides you with contextual data to better understand what actually happens on your roads. It allows you to act proactively, before collisions happen and make better decisions using objective data from vehicles driving your roads to identify the most effective investments.

From Data to Insights
Input data
Monitoring collective driving behaviour on your network, 24/7, in all weather conditions
Analysis
Analyzing patterns in the data to identify areas with repeated abnormal driving
VRU surroundings
Filter on VRU (Vulnarable Road User) locations and visualise driving behaviour in the immediate surroundings to identify elevated risk during arrival and departure hours.
Supports targeted, low-cost safety interventions where vulnerable road users are most exposed.
Weekday vs weekend comparison
Analyse differences in driving behaviour between weekdays and weekends to understand usage-driven risk.
Reveals patterns linked to commuting, leisure traffic, or recreational driving.
Enrichment
Combining various sources of data to better understand what road users really experience and act before a crash occurs
Use cases that turn data into action
Day vs night comparison
Compare driving behaviour during daylight and nighttime to uncover visibility-related risk patterns.
Helps prioritise lighting upgrades, signage, or speed management where night-time risk is structurally higher.
Weather impact analysis
Compare driving behaviour under different weather conditions such as rain, fog, snow or hail.
Supports proactive identification of weather-sensitive road sections and seasonal risk management.
Average start speed in a zone
By selecting a specific area on the map, RoadTrace Safety calculates the average start speed of vehicles within that zone. For harsh braking events, this start speed represents the vehicle speed at the moment braking begins, providing a clear and intuitive indicator of how fast drivers are approaching potential conflict points and where elevated risk is most likely to occur.
Before / after intervention
Compare safety indicators before and after an intervention, such as a speed limit change or infrastructure adjustment.
Essential for demonstrating impact, accountability and return on investment.
Single road deep dive
Select one specific road segment and access all available safety insights, driving behaviour indicators, and contextual factors.
Ideal for detailed diagnosis, stakeholder discussions and justifying targeted interventions.
KSI surroundings analysis
Analyse driving behaviour patterns in the surroundings of locations with killed or seriously injured outcomes.
Supports post-event understanding and helps identify similar high-probability crash sites elsewhere on the network.
