Highway Safety Management
Collecting a complete and accurate inventory of highway safety asset data can be complicated and time consuming. At Cyclomedia, we can deliver you this asset data at a state-wide scale within weeks by collecting 3D mobile LiDAR and 100 mpx imagery, followed by the application of machine learning technologies to automate the asset extraction process.
Cyclomedia's 3D roadway imagery, data extraction services and software tools can help Safety Offices with more than just MIRE data. Whether you are creating a Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) or supporting FHWA initiatives such as Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), High Risk Rural Roads (HRRR), Railroad-Highway Crossing Program (RHCP), or Safe Transportation for Every Pedestrian (STEP), having complete and accurate data is crucial for informed decision making.

Along with providing detailed roadway characteristics, we also inventory countermeasures and physical assets, as well as identify and collect information about important safety areas, such as railroad crossings, bike lanes, and pedestrian crossings.

Roadway safety management process
When it comes to road safety, having the right tools to check and manage how safe our roads are is extremely important. As roads get busier and more complex, using clear and detailed information from advanced technology is key. At Cyclomedia, we're leading the charge with cutting-edge products that make understanding road safety easier through detailed 3D images and data tools.
Our tools are robust for teams working on big road safety plans or supporting government programs like the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), High Risk Rural Roads (HRRR), and others. These programs depend on thorough safety analysis to make smart decisions and choose which areas to prioritize.
Our tools and methods for highway safety
The Cyclomedia LiDAR Point Cloud
One of our top products, the GeoCyclorama Imagery provides 360° panoramic views of roads. This helps spot potential safety problems that might not be seen in regular flat images. Being able to see roads in this way helps our safety analysts and planners understand real road conditions better, improving how we manage roadway safety without needing to visit the sites in person.
Another great tool is the LiDAR Point Cloud. This gives us a three-dimensional view at street level, which is perfect for detailed safety performance functions and checking how often crashes happen. This gives us a three-dimensional, street-level view of any given location.
Our Street Smart viewer lets everyone involved in safety management easily access and work with both GeoCyclorama Imagery and LiDAR data. This is super helpful for city planners and road safety officers because it makes teaming up on projects and making decisions much simpler.
Highway safety manual
Using these tools makes checking safety details more accurate and helps us work more efficiently. For example, by using crash modification factors from the Highway Safety Manual, we can better predict how different safety changes might reduce crashes. This helps us make smarter choices about where to spend money and efforts, leading to better and more cost-effective safety programs.
At Cyclomedia, our advanced tools are changing the way we manage road safety. By offering detailed pictures, precise data, and easy-to-use tools, we help safety officials come up with stronger plans to lower the number of road incidents and improve overall safety performance. With a focus on data-driven practices, we are working towards making roads safer for everyone.
We evaluate your entire roadway network
This involves scanning your entire network of roads to pinpoint high-risk areas. Once we've identified these spots, we can prioritize projects that will have the biggest impact on road safety. This methodical approach ensures that you're always working on the most critical issues first, aiming for the greatest improvements in road safety for everyone.
"ITD was astounded at how quickly our project came together. Vehicle-based collection started the last day of June 2020 and our entire state highway system was driven in under three weeks! Processed roadway imagery and LiDAR depth surface rapidly started appearing in Street Smart.
We provide education and support to safety officials by offering advanced tools that enhance road safety management. Our detailed images and precise data empower decision-makers to choose the most effective countermeasures for reducing road incidents by integrating data-driven practices."
