Implementing Data-Driven Solutions for Safer Roads

To enhance road safety, there is a critical need for comprehensive crash surveillance systems that can provide valuable data on accidents in real-time. Countries such as Sweden, the U.S., and Australia have seen significant improvements by utilizing integrated data sources and technologies like V2X communication, which enhances emergency response and informs better policy decisions. Currently, India lacks this level of real-time monitoring, as existing systems only cover a fraction of the roads, and AI applications in traffic analysis are still developing. The push for better road safety is further emphasized by the economic implications of traffic accidents, as many victims come from disadvantaged backgrounds that face heightened financial hardships due to such incidents.
