2025 ATSIP/CMT Demonstration Project

TRCCs and CMT: Partnering to Advance Highway Safety – Demonstration Project

Members of the Association of Transportation Safety Information Professionals (ATSIP), who support and contribute to the work of Traffic Records Coordinating Committees (TRCCs), bring unmatched expertise in traffic records and highway safety insights. Cambridge Mobile Telematics (CMT) complements this expertise by offering advanced predictive road risk insights. ATSIP and CMT have come together to address critical safety challenges and shape strategies to improve outcomes for all who rely on these essential insights through a pilot program available to ATSIP members who represent State TRCCs, Tribal Communities, and those who are members of ATSIP TRCC Affiliate memberships.

 

Predictive roadway risk analytics are powerful tools for understanding and predicting road risk. They can offer a more comprehensive understanding of road safety, allowing stakeholders to make better-informed decisions and target resources to ultimately reduce crashes and save lives.

 

This pilot demonstration project is a unique opportunity that facilitates the collaboration of ATSIP members’ and TRCCs’ deep knowledge of traffic records alongside CMT’s expertise in predictive road risk analytics. The objective of this demonstration project is to combine insights to identify pressing safety challenges and develop forward-looking methods and strategies to save lives. This demonstration project provides the opportunity for TRCCs to develop better countermeasures and targeted efforts to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities.

 

Candidates are encouraged to use innovative methods and design strategies to accomplish this initiative. Three candidates will be selected as awardees for this demonstration project. Awardees will have access to the CMT’s platform with technical support from CMT staff to execute their proposed project.

CMT Road Safety Insights

 Awardees will collaborate with CMT regarding the scope and window of road safety insights.

  • CMT road safety insights from Jan 2021 – June 2025 will be available for a 6-month period for the target study.
  • Road risk includes near-miss crashes for both roadways/intersections and geographies (i.e. municipalities, counties, state) for comparison and trends.
  • CMT will provide assistance for analyses and road safety insights expertise to the State throughout the period of performance.
  • Access level
    • Up to 5 licenses per awardee
  • IT requirements for use within grant period – website platform.

This demonstration project has been reviewed and approved by the full ATSIP Board to manage and facilitate this opportunity in partnership with CMT, an ATSIP Knowledge Partner.

The execution of this project is not an endorsement of the product by ATSIP, but an opportunity to identify the potential to utilize these novel insights in conjunction with traditional traffic records systems.
