Abstract: Ensuring the safety of vulnerable road users, such as cyclists and pedestrians, requires accommodations to be built into road design. Drivers must also be aware of how to share the roads safely. Though vulnerable road users comprise only 1% of total road users, they make up 19% of road fatalities. Collision data analysis software is helping authorities design roads with the safety of all users in mind. Software can identify locations of high crash risk and help plan countermeasures. Authorities in the United Kingdom have been using analytical software to identify local trends. The collision data analysis software can direct improvement projects, helping maximize road safety.
