Safety-Tronic
Opportunity area: Traffic safety
Gives every street a road-safety risk score, so cities can see where people walking, cycling and driving are most at risk. Running in Almere and Amsterdam.
What problem are we trying to solve?
Every city has more risky streets than money to fix them. The hard part is choosing where to start.
01
Crash data comes too late
It shows where people were hurt last year. Near misses are rarely recorded at all.
02
Warning signs are scattered
Speeding, harsh braking, traffic counts and road design sit with different teams.
03
“Why this street?”
When the council asks, planners need an answer they can back with data.
How does it work?
One score per street
Combines 12 risk factors, from speeding and harsh braking to the quality of cycle lanes.
The city sets the priorities
Planners choose what matters most and the map updates straight away.
Zoom in on any neighbourhood
Filter by district and get a short summary for each one.
How is it being tested?
First tested with the City of Almere in 2026. A second version now runs in Amsterdam.
TEST 1 · PRIORITIES
Deciding where the safety budget goes first
Almere: 13,692 road segments scored. The riskiest 8% form a shortlist the city can act on.
TEST 2 · SCENARIOS
Testing a measure before paying for it
Pick streets and a measure, such as a 30 km/h limit, and see how the risk would change.
NEXT
Amsterdam runs the same method on its own data. Next, other DRO tools will be able to use the risk scores directly.
How does it fit into DMI?
