VivaCity Near Miss Detection
Real-time road safety insights and incident root cause analysis
Revolutionary Insights for Road Safety & Active Travel
VivaCity’s Near Miss detection is a road safety game-changer and a key feature of our innovative Smart Road Safety solution. With Near Miss it’s possible to detect and analyse a range of dangerous interactions that could have led to collisions, where they happen, and in real time.
How do VivaCity sensors detect near miss events?
To automatically detect near miss events, speed and path data of road users are analysed using three metrics: Proximity, Post Encroachment Time and Time to Collision.
By using not one, but three methodologies of analysis, and applying specific thresholds, it's possible to both identify near miss events and the root cause of the incident, with high accuracy and efficiency.

Post-intervention analysis
Compare near miss counts before and after an intervention to measure effectiveness.
Don't let hazards - or perceived hazards - be a blocker to active travel
