RideFree research project

Case study – RideFree

RideFree was a 2019 winner at the Prince Michael Road Safety Awards

RideFree is a double-award winning collaboration between Agilysis, Highways England, DVSA. MCIA, Driving Research and local road safety partnerships.

The outcome is a national scheme, rolled out by DVSA, to provide young riders with an e-learning resource to enhance their Compulsory Basic Training.

The way that outcome was achieved was through a multi-faceted research project, which combined data analysis, industry insights and a literature review into the Double Diamond process to perform a behavioural diagnosis. It led to a randomised controlled trial, gathering new data and information to design and deliver the RideFree initiative.

This video explains how we did it.

Why do we need 20mph?

Explore the transformative impact of 20mph speed limits with insights from Wales and beyond. Recent data reveals a significant reduction in road casualties following the implementation of 20mph limits in Wales, underscoring their potential to enhance road safety. Agilysis's Traffic Insights report using connected vehicle data highlighted a 2.4mph reduction in average speeds. This aligns with the broader trend of adopting Vision Zero and Safe System methodologies, which prioritize human safety by setting speed limits that reduce fatality risks for pedestrians and cyclists. Discover how these changes are making roads safer and what further measures can be implemented for greater impact.
