Revolutionizing Road Safety - From Crash Investigations to Safer Communities

Connected vehicle technology is transforming the way we investigate crashes, offering a powerful tool to uncover the truth behind accidents and create safer roads for everyone. In this session, you will hear how Compass has helped road authority crash investigation teams provide insights into the moments leading up to an accident, by seamlessly recording and transmitting precise, real-time data on speed, acceleration, braking, steering and GPS location.

This session will delve into how this comprehensive view of events is revolutionizing crash investigations, enabling authorities to pinpoint the root cause of accidents, identify contributing factors, and make data-driven decisions to improve road safety for all.

We will also explore how this data extends beyond crash investigations, and how connected vehicle data is being leveraged to enhance safety around school neighbourhoods, ensuring the well-being of local residents. Additionally, we will examine the impact of this data on the effectiveness of speed cameras across the road network, showcasing how it can be used to optimize traffic management and reduce accidents.
