Data Science in Transport – Safety in Numbers

February 22, 2018

Recognising the important role Data Science has to play in the transport sector the Department for Transport is running a series of events for professionals showcasing work carried out in the sector.  This is very much an emerging are of interest, and one that Agilysis has already been investing in, and we were excited to present some of our work in analysing risk to cyclists as a part of today’s event.

Richard Owen showed the work we had undertaken using data from English local authorities which is then analysed to asses how risk changes as the number of people cycling regularly increases.

Other presentations on the day looked at risk junctions for cyclists, speed violations using app-data, the use of VR in modelling new street scenes, and a presentation from Google on using AI to detect vehicle types

How Workplace Culture Can Transform Safe System Working

Creating safer environments, especially in road safety, requires more than strategies and procedures; it demands a strong workplace culture that prioritises safety. Corporate culture, which comprises shared values and behaviors, plays a crucial role in successfully implementing Safe System working. Case studies from companies like Etsy and Salesforce demonstrate how aligning culture with safety goals can drive significant positive change. By fostering a Safe System culture where safety is a core value, organisations can move closer to achieving ambitious goals, such as Transport Scotland's vision of zero road fatalities by 2030.
