Ford Mobility and StreetLight Data, Inc. (StreetLight) have collaborated to provide new safety solutions for cities, local government agencies and departments of transportation.

This combination of data and machine-learning resources offers users a more comprehensive mobility dataset and smart safety decision tools available today.

The new bundled offering Safety Solutions by StreetLight and Ford Mobility enables customers to achieve a full-picture multimode viewpoint of transportation and data-driven safety insights across a state, region or city to tackle bike, pedestrian and vehicle safety issues.

Safety Solutions provides two powerful offerings in one comprehensive solution for maximum impact. Ford Mobility’s Safety Insights tool leverages crash data and connected vehicle data around near misses to identify safety hotspots and helps simulate the estimated impact of potential mitigations.

Paired with StreetLight InSight®, a Software-as-a-Service platform for mobility with its multimode subscription (a comprehensive set of bike and pedestrian features), Safety Solutions by StreetLight and Ford Mobility allows users to zero in on opportunities to help reduce serious and fatal crashes, while running further analyses to identify data-driven actions for next steps in investing in traffic safety.

The joint offering features three key pillars, including the ability to:

“Safety Insights combines multiple datasets, including connected vehicle data, in a way that allows transportation planners to quickly sort and filter down to safety events of interest and then simulate the predicted impact of countermeasures for potential implementation,” said Cal Coplai, product owner of Ford Mobility’s Safety Insights.

“This kind of collation and analysis was previously very time-consuming and often lacked any visual representation to help planners and engineers rapidly identify, analyze and recommend countermeasures for particular safety concerns.”

“Recent national trends about transportation safety are not positive — for drivers, pedestrians or bicyclists. We are thrilled to work with Ford Mobility to help our industry take smart, targeted steps to reduce injuries and fatalities by prioritizing the right locations,” said StreetLight CEO Laura Schewel.
