The Autoscope Speed Management System is a cutting-edge solution developed by Image Sensing Systems, Inc. to address the critical issue of speeding, a leading contributor to roadway fatalities. In 2021 alone, speed accounted for 29% of all road deaths, emphasizing the need for effective management solutions. This system focuses on mitigating harmful speeds rather than solely curbing speeders, incorporating innovative technologies and data-driven strategies to enhance road safety for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists alike. By adopting a safe system approach, it aims to make safe speeds an integral aspect of traffic safety programs. With a growing emphasis on reducing pedestrian and bicyclist fatalities, this approach is crucial. The system leverages advanced detection technologies to improve the safety and crash survivability on roads, reflecting a paradigm shift in speed management methodologies.
The most significant safety factor on our roadways today is speeding, contributing to a staggering 29% of all fatalities in 2021. Speeding is a risky behavior that has resulted in killing nearly 100,000 people over the past decade. Fatalities among all users have been increasing, and fatalities among pedestrians and bicyclists have been increasing even faster. Our National Roadway Safety Strategy calls for transportation practitioners to shift focus to prioritize safe speeds and make them a fundamental component of traffic safety programs.
Speed management efforts are undergoing a transformative shift, with focus on identifying and reducing harmful speeds rather than simply trying to control speeding behavior. The focus is on adopting innovative technologies and evidence-based strategies to improve the safety and crash survivability of all road users, both inside and outside of vehicles.
