CMT enhances StreetVision Platform to identify high-risk intersections and prevent road crashes
12th March 2026
Telematics technology company Cambridge Mobile Telematics has introduced new capabilities to its StreetVision road safety analytics platform, enabling transportation agencies to identify dangerous intersections and take preventive action before accidents occur. The latest upgrade, called Intersection Safety Insights, integrates federal and state crash data with telematics-based behavioral data to provide a more comprehensive understanding of road safety risks. By combining traditional crash statistics with real-time indicators such as speeding, hard braking, and mobile phone distraction, the platform helps authorities pinpoint exactly where risky driving behaviors are concentrated. This deeper visibility is particularly important because intersections account for a disproportionately high share of road accidents. According to data from the Federal Highway Administration, intersections are responsible for roughly 25% of traffic fatalities and nearly half of all traffic injuries in the United States, despite representing only a small portion of total roadway mileage.
The new feature enables transportation agencies to analyze risk patterns at the intersection level and rank locations based on the frequency of hazardous driving behaviors. Officials can zoom into specific intersections to observe where risky maneuvers occur, detect rising trends in unsafe driving, and visualize historical crash and fatality data within the same platform. This integrated approach allows authorities to move beyond simply counting past accidents and instead focus on identifying emerging risks before serious crashes happen. The system also supports before-and-after analysis, enabling agencies to evaluate whether infrastructure improvements such as redesigned intersections, new traffic signals, or speed-calming measures are actually reducing dangerous driving patterns. According to CMT executives, bringing crash outcomes together with behavior-based risk insights enables governments and planners to allocate safety investments more effectively and prioritize high-risk locations.
StreetVision is already used by transportation departments, metropolitan planning organizations, and safety agencies to support infrastructure planning and road safety initiatives such as Vision Zero programs. By delivering real-time behavioral insights alongside traditional crash data, the upgraded platform aims to help authorities intervene earlier, reduce accidents, and ultimately make roads safer for drivers, pedestrians, and communities.
