There are few networks in the United States that are relied upon as much as its roadway.
As one of the country's most essential infrastructure systems, millions of individuals and businesses rely on roads to conduct daily routines. As a result, our roads are heavily monitored to keep them as safe as can be. But any pedestrian, cyclist or driver can tell you no road is completely risk-free, and much of that has to do with a lack of digitalization.
A recent report by The Brookings Institution, "The Digital Road to Safety," examined the connection between city road safety and data from a variety of public, private and civic perspectives. It found that although data can certainly improve the design and management of city streets as well as behavioral and business practices, the barriers to wide-scale sharing and new system adoption are equally significant.
