A guide describing the process of integrating telematics risk analysis to improve safety planning and decision-making. TRA uses physics and AI-based tools to measure patterns of risk on the road. Unlike traditional traffic safety data systems that rely on historical trends, TRA analyzes roadway behaviors, such as phone handling, speeding, hard braking, and aggressive cornering as they are happening. This anonymized, aggregated information is then combined to form predictive safety indicators and assess risk. Insurance companies have used this process to predict risks for decades. The same opportunity to better predict risk and make smarter choices on how to prevent crashes and save lives is now available to the highway safety community. By tracking actual patterns of risk, SHSOs can actively deploy TRA to build, implement, and evaluate their THSPs.
