This session will explore innovative, technology-enabled approaches to reducing road-user risk through enhanced traffic monitoring, situational awareness, and data-driven road safety management. Participants will examine how emerging tools can support the early detection of critical events, unsafe behaviours, and high-risk conditions. Through real-world case studies, the session will highlight how high-resolution data and automated analytics can strengthen road safety strategies, inform targeted interventions, and support enforcement and operational decision-making where appropriate, ultimately contributing to safer road networks for all users.
