This project was funded by the Waka Kotahi’ Hoe Ki Angitū Transport Innovation Fund, aimed at accelerating the development and deployment of novel solutions to the country’s biggest transport challenges. VivaCity deployed 30 of its award-winning AI-powered traffic sensors across 22 selected New Zealand cities, enabling the collection of anonymised detailed movement and interaction data between pedestrians and vehicles, and cyclists and vehicles, to support the ongoing development of near miss detection technology. This exclusive research project focuses on the advanced application of AI-powered near miss detection technology and methodologies to support proactive road safety initiatives, by identifying danger hotspots and preventing incidents before they happen. Access the report to find out: ✔️How the near miss technology was deployed ✔️What methodologies were used to validate and analyse the data ✔️How the VivaCity data was used to complement existing crash data and provide a new layer of insight  ✔️What the near miss videos have revealed about unsafe user behaviour and infrastructure improvement needs ✔️A discussion around how these findings can help local authorities support evidence based decision making Request the report and learn about how predictive AI-powered near miss technology can revolutionise road safety schemes. ![Waka Kotahi & VivaCity](https://info.vivacitylabs.com/hubfs/Waka%20Kotahi%20%26%20VivaCity.jpg "Waka Kotahi & VivaCity") ### ACCESS THE REPORT ## About VivaCity VivaCity is supporting over 150 authorities across the UK and Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and North America, to overcome their biggest transport challenges by providing with high-quality, multimodal, anonymous transport data.
