Collecting and measuring crash data is a good start, but more robust safety measures rely on additional detail, including vehicle trip volume, travel speeds, routing, bicycle and pedestrian activity, and more.
Explore the full menu of use cases we support below.
StreetLight InSight® powers the following safety analyses:
VISION ZERO
Identify focus areas to meet Vision Zero goals:
- View traffic volumes and speed data for corridor safety assessments.
- Get turning movement count data to identify intersections prime for traffic control devices.
- Access speed data to explore reasons why VMT is down but crashes are up during COVID-19.
- Run before-and-after studies to determine the impact of safety infrastructure changes, and prove countermeasure effectiveness.


COMPLETE STREETS
Get safety assessment data for Complete Streets policies:
- Analyze top O-D pairs for bike/ped traffic and bike/ped route heat maps.
- Use bicycle traffic maps to prioritize where to invest in Active Transportation infrastructure.
- Layer on demographics to diagnose the social equity impact for safety initiatives.
- Measure the effectiveness of Complete Streets projects with before-and-after studies.
- Get traffic volume and speed to justify road diets and other traffic-calming initiatives.
WORK ZONE SAFETY
Use transportation data to power Maintenance of Traffic planning:
- Get peak-hour traffic conditions near work zones to enable safe mitigation strategies and temporary traffic control.
- Improve traffic flow through work zones by identifying alternative routes for detour planning.
- Analyze road work efficacy with before-and-after studies and diagnose the work’s impact on mobility, view construction detour impact.


MIRE REQUIREMENTS
Ways to streamline data collection to fulfill MIRE requirements and safety performance management:
- Access AADT and traffic Volume Metrics for all road segments, including local and rural roads, to understand the usage of all public roads for MIRE Fundamental Data Elements collection efforts.
- Optimize traffic count programs through up-to-date road count data on your entire region.
Volume, speed, turning movements for all road segments and all modes
Zero in on opportunities to reduce fatalities
Overlay bicycle and pedestrian O-D data with your crash data to build safety exposure models.
Before-and-after studies to reveal powerful insights
Run before-and-after studies to determine the impact of safety infrastructure changes.
Data to prioritize Active Transportation infrastructure
Identify high-risk locations across the region where cars, bicycles, or pedestrians interact the most.
We no longer have to make assumptions on people’s trip activity and travel behaviors. Now, we have data to support our research, and it separates fact from fiction.
Enhancing Bike and Pedestrian Safety in Pittsburgh
Active Transportation Plan for Sarasota
Tulsa MPO Fills Traffic Count Gaps
To enhance bike and pedestrian safety, the City of Pittsburgh used StreetLight Data’s Origin-Destination (O-D) Metrics to capture bike and pedestrian trip information. See why high-travel corridors didn’t correlate with crash severity.
See Sarasota’s data-backed Active Transportation plan that guided decisions and funding for transit, bicycle, and pedestrian facilities.
When jurisdictions in an Oklahoma MPO’s region stopped collecting counts, StreetLight provided complete and reliable AADT Metrics for an entire area.
