Road Risk Monitor forecasts U.S. road incidents using live weather and road data

Researchers have developed the Road Risk Monitor, a system designed to forecast road incidents across the United States. This system integrates historical incident data, live weather information, and national road geometry to predict safety risks. The project provides predictions through various APIs, including raster tiles and JSON road tiles, and is accessible via a public web application. AI

IMPACT This system could improve road safety by providing real-time incident forecasts, potentially reducing accidents and response times.
