School Crossings Safety Program - Victoria

The Challenge

School crossings across Victoria needed comprehensive safety monitoring to understand pedestrian and vehicle behaviour patterns. The state road authority required data-driven insights to identify potential safety risks and inform targeted safety interventions across a large-scale network of crossings.

Our Solution

Real Time Traffic deployed NearMiss cameras strategically across 3,000 school crossing sites statewide over 2 years to collect and analyse data on pedestrian and vehicle interactions, identify potential safety risks, and inform targeted interventions.

Implementation Details:

• Deployed NearMiss cameras across 3,000 school crossing sites statewide
• 2-year continuous monitoring and data collection period
• Automated pedestrian and vehicle classification and counting
• Drive-through and near drive-through incident detection
• Dwell time measurement and crossing location analysis
