Agency moves to add machine learning to road-safety arsenal

The South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral) is exploring the use of machine learning to make more effective use of its data collected from field devices, such as vehicle-detection systems and cameras, and floating car data, which is a collection of anonymised road traffic data from Global Positioning System (GPS) and cellular providers. The data is used to support infrastructure planning and the detection of and emergency response to incidents on the national roads. Machine learning can enhance the use of the data for applications, such as automated incident-detection and incident-prediction models, says Sanral Technology Innovation Hub (TIH) mechatronics engineer Ruan van Breda.
