San Jose, California, known for its innovation and vibrant cultural is home to over one million residents. As the city grows, traffic density increases, raising pedestrian and vehicle incidents. In response, the city adopted Vision Zero’s goal to eliminate traffic deaths and severe injuries through roadway improvements and new safety measures with the purpose to create safer streets for all – bikes, vehicles, and pedestrians.
To succeed, they recognized the need for an evidence–based strategy, using data-driven solutions to target high-risk areas and vulnerable road users. The key focus was understanding the causes and locations of traffic crashes:
ensuring reliable and comprehensive data on traffic incidents, patterns, and risk factors to inform decisions.
identifying and prioritizing the most dangerous locations while balance resource allocation & budgets.
Overcoming resistance from residents to implement necessary road safety changes.
To address these challenges, they needed a trusted partner with proven reliability on real-time large-scale IoT deployments and real-time data analytics.
