Supported by a € 589,762 grant from EIT Urban Mobility, the ROADSCOR project has successfully transitioned from a technical concept to a market-ready methodology.
Financed 65% by EIT Urban Mobility through its Targeted Call program, this initiative was designed to bring advanced risk quantification to wide-scale implementation.
A Coalition for Engineering Excellence
In strategic collaboration with Siemens Digital Industries Software, Aimsun, and Haskoning, Roadscor has matured from Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 7 to TRL 9. This transition was validated through rigorous, real-world safety assessments in four diverse European contexts: Rome, Hasselt, Noord-Brabant, and Verona. These reference cases ensured the tool was refined to meet the precise, defensible needs of traffic engineers and road authorities.
Key Project Objectives
The ROADSCOR project focused on three primary pillars of infrastructure safety:
- Data-Driven Assessments: Implementing predictive safety simulations for intersections to quantify the impact of proposed design modifications before they are built.
- Technological Maturity: Advancing the tool to TRL 9, enabling planners to evaluate complex environments with a forward-looking, conflict-based approach—with a particular focus on Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs).
- Standardized Scoring: Developing objective, universal safety scores that simplify complex data for practical decision-making by policymakers and authorities.
