This new central hub for road safety analytical support has been launched by the Road Safety GB Analysts’ Network.
Developed by Agilysis with the backing of the DfT, ‘Data Wiki’ has been developed as a first-stop for anyone wanting to understand the types of road safety data and resources that are available, and examples of modern research techniques.
It has separate FAQs for different types of user including road safety professionals, members of the public, journalists and politicians, as well as a catalogue of articles focussing on specific issues such as enforcement, casualties, road user behaviour and vehicles/drivers.
The articles include links to datasets, interactive maps and other tools which guide users towards quick answers on potentially complex topics.
There is also the opportunity for individual authorities, partnerships, and others to post their own data tools and visualisations in the form of a showcase.
The Road Safety GB Analysts’ Network was founded in 2016 to provide support for professionals involved in analysing road safety data. Its work also includes the annual ‘Joining the Dots’ conference.
