Targeting safer roads

Anais

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.

Road safety issues:
  • Accidents stagnating for 10 years
  • Mainly due to user behaviour

Challenges of mastering the value chain around the road:
  • Secure alert areas through better network knowledge
  • Priority preventive over remedial action
  • Prepare the management profession for a global and integrated wealth vision
  • Focus public action on strategic choices and not on the technologies to be used
Financial and organizational issues:
  • Decrease in investments and operating expenses of communities
  • Political will to measure and objectify the impact of investments and work carried out
  • Need for business coordination for optimized wealth management
