SafeR: the Safest Routing Tool

Description:

SafeR is a pioneering technology designed to integrate safe route-finding into road navigation systems by considering not just the fastest, but the safest routes. By synthesizing existing research and addressing gaps, SafeR utilizes multi-source real-time data to provide safety-based probability scores for different routes, enhancing overall road safety.

Key Advantages:

• Focuses on safety as a priority in route selection.
• Utilizes real-time, multi-source data for dynamic route updates.
• Addresses gaps in current safe routing systems by incorporating a comprehensive safety system approach.
• Generates safety-based probability scores for various routes, offering users informed choices.
• Applicable across multiple areas: motor vehicle navigation, pedestrian and cyclist safety, and hazardous material transportation.

Problems Solved:

• Reduces the risk of road crashes by prioritizing safer routes.
• Overcomes the challenge of quantifying safety by introducing a standardized safety measurement approach.
• Addresses the lack of depth in current safe routing systems by considering real-time data and safety probabilities.

Market Applications:

• Navigation systems for private and commercial vehicles.
• Public safety and emergency response routing.
• City and urban planning for pedestrian and cyclist safety enhancements.
• Transportation of hazardous materials by providing safer route options.
