AI applications using Open Road Crash data

Develop solutions to predict, prevent, and respond to road accidents. Use data from road crashes, traffic patterns, and environmental conditions to think creatively about how to use AI.

By integrating multi-agent AI systems, create a responsive solution to assist the understanding of:

• the causes of road accidents
• improving traffic management
• and formulating evidence-based policies.

The goal is to develop a solution that provides actionable insights to enhance road safety for all users, from pedestrians to drivers.

Develop, a multi-agent AI based web-application to provide the associated documentation, alongside notebooks for sample use-case walkthroughs.


These agents should be able to perform:

• Crash hotspot identification: An agent that can predict high-risk areas for crashes. And access to underlying data-driven models.
• Executive brief creation: An agent that creates comprehensive and concise executive briefs. Those briefs can summarise key findings, insights, and recommendations.

• Preventative measure suggestions: An agent capable of turning insights into effective measures. Examples include changes in road design or traffic regulations to reduce crashes.
• Policy guideline recommendations: An agent that can suggest creative public policy solutions. Examples include:
  • improved road signage
  • better lighting
  • enhanced traffic signal timing
  • public awareness campaigns
  • or infrastructure modifications.
• Historic data insights presentation: An agent capable of analysing historical data. to understand crash patterns and suggest improvements.

• GitHub Repository (or similar): Share a link to a GitHub repository containing:
  • all project files
  • documentation
  • code
  • and system design diagrams.
• Executive Summary: A concise summary of the project, key findings, and recommendations.
• Model Binaries (if applicable): Submit the model binaries with the GitHub repo if applicable.

The Victorian Road Safety Strategy 2021-2030 seeks to embed a strong culture of road safety within the community, supporting road users to make safe choices as we progressively reduce fatalities on our roads.
