[MOVING TOWARDS GREATER SAFETY]
QUANTIFY RISKS // PREVENT CRASHES // OPTIMIZE INFRASTRUCTURE
Piazzale Venticinque Marzo 1957 is one of Rome’s most complex intersections, characterized by heavy traffic volumes and high-speed maneuvers that have historically resulted in 15 crashes per year. To support a proactive safety intervention, Roadscor quantified the site’s safety performance by simulating thousands of time-synchronized road-user interactions. By mapping simulated conflict kinematics to real-world crash outcomes, Roadscor provided an objective baseline for injury severity and societal costs before any physical changes were made.
The analysis benchmarked the current layout against a proposed city redesign, providing the Rome Mobility Agency (RSM) with measurable safety outcomes:
50% Risk Reduction: The simulation confirmed that the redesign would almost halve the overall risk at the intersection.
Identified Hidden Risks: While overall risk decreased, Roadscor identified a specific potential for high-severity conflicts linked to signal timing and turning movements that were invisible in standard geometric checks.
Pre-Construction Refinement: These insights allowed engineers to refine signal cycles and modeled paths before construction, ensuring the final design was optimized for maximum safety.By replacing hindsight with forward-looking simulation, Roadscor provided a defensible, evidence-based audit trail for Rome’s infrastructure investment. This methodology enables authorities to validate life-saving interventions long before implementation on-site.
