The fight for data-driven safety models

摘要

Working with our partners XAIS Asset Management and independent SCRIM and safety consultant Dr Helen Viner, Derby City Council secured a Road Safety Trust grant just before lockdown in mid-March. The Small Grants Programme aims to improve road safety at a local level and they were looking to fund projects that generated new knowledge about what works in the local context and how to translate ideas into measures. We will complete vital research on a road safety project, which will investigate the relationship between skid resistance and collision risk. The project is focusing on 'city' networks and 11 authorities in the East Midlands and Yorkshire regions are now participating in the pilot.
