Journey-level risk

Driver Road Risk

Absolute collision risk per vehicle kilometre travelled (VKT): the likelihood that any given vehicle journey on a segment results in a collision. This considers risk predictions against traffic volume to expose genuinely dangerous roads, not just busy ones.

Explanation

This map shows collision risk per vehicle kilometre travelled across the road network. By accounting for traffic volume alongside collision history, it identifies roads that are genuinely dangerous to use rather than just carry a lot of traffic.

A quiet rural road with relatively few collisions can still present high risk per journey if very little traffic uses it. This measure gives a more honest picture of road danger for any given trip.

This makes it a practical tool for deciding where roads are genuinely dangerous and for fleet operators and logistics teams who need to understand the true risk profile of the roads their drivers use every day.

Route safety optimisation & departure scheduling

Driver Road Risk reports can be produced for any network and route. Combined with dynamic risk modelling, this powers risk-minimising routing and departure time optimisation for fleet operators and logistics platforms.
