Pilot description
Pilot start date: October, 2024
Arezzo’s pilot aims to foster data-driven decision-making to achieve a sensitive decrease in the city’s scores of accidents and injured people. The cornerstone of this project will be an in-depth, overarching analysis of a vast database of dangerous roads and intersections in Arezzo’s municipality. The anonymised data, collected from 2008 onwards, will help identify further correlations between the accident rate and other variables, such as weather conditions, street quality, time of the day, etc.
The goal is to improve road safety in dangerous hotspots through informed public decision-making. According to the data gathered, Arezzo’s municipality will engage other stakeholders, such as the municipal police, law enforcement agencies, or other local government services, to contribute to its mobility and urban planning strategies.
Use cases addressed:
- Time-series analysis
- Descriptive analysis
Data used: Accidents time-series with accident date/type, accident georeferencing, road condition and type, road signage, traffic type, presence of witnesses, incident severity (injuries, casualties)
Data sources: Municipal Data – accidents time-series 2008-2024 (Anonymised)
