Targeting safer roads
Over the past 50 years, road safety regulations and investments in infrastructure have led to a drastic reduction in deaths on departmental roads. In order to go further in risk prevention, it appears necessary to renew road safety policy by linking the localities and regions with private partners and to pay more attention to support from citizens.
As a "Road as a Service" player, Mobility by Colas has developed ANAIS, a digital tool for optimised and preventive infrastructure management by identifying near-accident zones or anormal deterioration of the road surface. An optimisation of the efficiency of interventions by targeting investment at the right places, at the right time and with the right solution.
The challenges
Routine maintenance and investment in the road network, from a road safety perspective, can be optimised to address a number of challenges:

Continuous monitoring of your network
- Continuous analysis of user behaviour in order to objectify political investment decisions.
- A before/after comparison to justify the relevance and effectiveness of the works carried out.
A business and organisational service
- A decision-making tool that proactively identifies areas of concern: accumulation of surprise effects, sections that may require a reassessment of the maximum speed limit, abnormal damage to the road surface.
- Optimising the effectiveness of interventions by directing investments to the right places, at the right time and with the right solution.
- A mobile version to simplify preventive field investigations.
ANAIS in an urban environment
Improving safety for vulnerable road users
ANAIS adapts by helping road managers identify areas of conflict between active and motorised modes of transport, in order to target the improvements needed to enhance safety for all.
Support for the implementation of the ANAIS service
User training and support
- Initial and ongoing training to ensure the tool is used properly.
- Local technical and business support.
Assistance with pre-analysis of warning zones
- Monthly reports indicating newly detected and pre-analysed areas.
- Prioritisation of areas to be treated and monitoring of work carried out.
ANAIS and its CSR impact
Through its ANAIS offer, Mobility by Colas responds to environmental challenges through various CSR impacts:
- Participate in improving road safety, by identifying near miss areas and proposing appropriate recommendations to ensure greater safety on the roads
- Adapting the infrastructure to support the evolution of real uses
- Support the road manager in analyzing the relevance of the work carried out on the infrastructure
- Better anticipate and target preventive maintenance operations, by capitalizing on existing trips
- Involving road users to improve driving conditions, land use planning
With ANAIS, you can work together with citizens in your area to prevent future accidents! Further information about the ANAIS service in the References/Videos section
