Using Data Science to Improve Traffic Safety

Cities across the world are increasingly focused on eliminating crash-related injuries and fatalities. Data can be a powerful resource in these efforts to make streets safer. Microsoft partnered with DataKind, which recently completed the Vision Zero Labs Project. This effort worked to develop valuable analytical models and tools to help the cities of New York, Seattle and New Orleans further their work to increase road safety.

What's the program that you use for the traffic simulation?

[@amintaslneto]

Great initiative!

Well done MS!

More protected bike lanes, more and wider sidewalks, safer crosswalks, less and narrower car lanes, traffic calming (speed bumps, speed cameras), more transit, more light rail, and finally: less cars... That's how you are going to get safer streets.

Kudos for the video content! Sorry for butting in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you ever tried - Saankramer Top Achiever System (do a search on google)? It is a smashing one off product for learning how to sky rocket website rankings and traffic minus the hard work. Ive heard some great things about it and my m8 got cool results with it.

1 billion dollars is enough money to put forward better driving schools to improve the skill level of motorists
then we can talk about building better roads for better mannered motorists to use
