Developed by SYSTRA and funded through a Transport Research and Innovation Grant from the _Department for Transport_, Collision Seek is an AI‑enabled road safety analysis tool for Great Britain’s road network. **Key contacts** ![](https://www.systra.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2026/01/martin-campbell_4.jpg) **Martin CAMPBELL** Digital Solutions Lead > [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/martin-campbell-a3b8a629/) ![](https://www.systra.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2026/01/angus-spence.jpg) **Angus SPENCE** Principal Consultant > [LinkedIn](https://uk.linkedin.com/in/angus-spence-1976049a) Collision Seek analyses the ‘_DNA_’ of the road environment by identifying the specific physical characteristics associated with collision risk. Collision Seek enables authorities to identify high-risk locations and implement preventative measures before collisions happen. #### Related services - [Transport Planning](https://www.systra.com/ireland/services/transport-strategy/transport-planning/) - [Strategic Transport Modelling & Simulation](https://www.systra.com/ireland/services/data-modelling/strategic-transport-modelling-and-simulation/) - [Highways & Roads](https://www.systra.com/ireland/markets/transport/highways-roads/) - [Traffic Engineering & Road Safety](https://www.systra.com/ireland/services/development-infrastructure/traffic-engineering-road-safety/) [REQUEST A free DEMO](https://www.systra.com/ireland/solutions/collision-seek/#h-request-a-demo-of-collision-seek) [Learn about the Collision Seek team](https://www.systra.com/ireland/solutions/collision-seek/#h-we-d-love-to-help-with-your-next-project) ## How Collision Seek Works [[ #### The predictive analysis framework   Collision Seek follows a three-stage predictive analysis framework. It aggregates STATS19 collision data across similar physical environments nationwide. It then analyses key physical features such as road markings, pedestrian crossings and buildings to understand collision risk patterns. The tool finally evaluates relative risk across entire road systems to identify locations where specific users are most vulnerable – including pedestrians and cyclists. #### Precision geospatial intelligence   Collision Seek estimates the likely types and severity of road collisions anywhere in Great Britain. By layering diverse geospatial datasets with nationwide collision patterns, the tool provides the technical evidence base to confidently prioritise, target and evaluate the most effective safety interventions and investment.  This approach is particularly valuable in areas with limited collision history, where traditional reactive analysis fails to identify emerging risks.   [[ #### Key features - **Interactive GIS dashboards** – Visualise road collision risk across your network with clear maps showing high-risk corridors and junctions.  - **Road network risk evaluation** – Assess entire road systems or focus on individual junctions to identify where specific users are vulnerable.  - **User group risk analysis** – Identify elevated risk locations for pedestrians, cyclists and other vulnerable road users, including child vulnerability mapping.  - **Road environment profiling **– Match your locations to similar environments nationwide, turning sparse local collision data into robust, actionable risk insight.  ![](https://www.systra.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2026/01/collision-seek-child-vulnerability-mapping-1024x724.png) #### Vision Zero and the Safe System approach   Collision Seek supports authorities in achieving ‘Vision Zero’ – the goal of eliminating all road deaths and serious injuries. The tool complements the Safe System approach outlined in the [DfT Road Safety Strategy](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/road-safety-strategy) . These systems focus on improving road environments that reduce the likelihood of human error that leads to fatal or serious injuries – for which Collision Seek is uniquely placed to help inform. #### How does Collision Seek improve safety in areas with sparse or stochastic collision data? Where local collision data is limited or highly variable, traditional hotspot analysis can struggle to provide a reliable evidence base. Collision Seek overcomes this by matching your locations of interest to similar physical environments nationwide, turning sparse local records into robust, actionable risk insight so UK local authorities can act proactively  #### Can Collision Seek identify risks for pedestrians, cyclists and other types? Yes. Collision Seek evaluates relative risk across the wider road network to show where pedestrians, cyclists and other vulnerable road users are most exposed. This supports targeted mitigation such as child vulnerability mapping, safe routes to school planning and strategic active travel and cycling investment in Great Britain. #### What role does machine learning play in Collision Seek? Machine learning underpins Collision Seek’s analysis of road character, learning patterns from features such as geometry, markings, crossings, buildings and vegetation linked to past collisions. This helps local authorities and highway agencies in Great Britain prioritise and target the most effective safety interventions, supporting better return on investment and helping to save more lives. #### What is STATS19 collision data and where does it come from? STATS19 is Great Britain’s official dataset of personal injury road collisions reported to police forces across England, Scotland and Wales, including Killed or Seriously Injured (KSI) casualties alongside slightly injured cases. Police collect the data using the standardised STATS19 form for collisions on public highways that result in death or injury. The Department for Transport (DfT) then validates and publishes it annually as the primary national road safety statistics. #### Achieving measurable road safety improvements Collision Seek harnesses nationwide evidence and machine learning to help you improve road safety and infrastructure, secure funding with confidence, and protect vulnerable users proactively across Great Britain’s road network. **Book a demo and talk to our specialists about your road safety challenges.** [Book a Demo](https://www.systra.com/ireland/solutions/collision-seek/#h-request-a-demo-of-collision-seek) ![](https://www.systra.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2026/01/collision-seek-road-collision-environment-classifications-across-central-scotland-1.png) ### We’d love to help with your next project ![](https://www.systra.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2026/01/martin-campbell_4.jpg) **Martin CAMPBELL** Digital Solutions Lead ![](https://www.systra.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2026/01/angus-spence.jpg) **Angus SPENCE** Principal Consultant [Connect with our specialists](https://www.systra.com/ireland/contact/business/) ![](https://www.systra.com/uk/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2026/01/collision-seek-road-collision-environment-classifications-across-central-scotland-1024x724.png) ### request a demo of collision seek ## Insights ![data-mobility-urban-transport-planning-5](https://www.systra.com/ireland/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2025/03/data-mobility-urban-transport-planning-5-1024x645.jpg) - Expert Insights ### Personal Mobility Data & The Future of Urban Transport Planning [ Read more ](https://www.systra.com/ireland/expert_insights/personal-mobility-data-the-future-of-urban-transport-planning/) ![harnessing-rich-geospatial-data-to-transform-road-safety](https://www.systra.com/ireland/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2025/11/harnessing-rich-geospatial-data-to-transform-road-safety-1024x645.png) - Expert Insights Martin CAMPBELL ### Harnessing rich geospatial data to transform road safety [ Read more ](https://www.systra.com/ireland/expert_insights/harnessing-rich-geospatial-data-to-transform-road-safety/) ## our Services ![highways-header-1](https://www.systra.com/ireland/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2023/05/highways-header-1-1024x645.jpg) _markets Highways & Roads Read more sur Highways & Roads_ ![traffic-engineering-website-header](https://www.systra.com/ireland/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2023/06/traffic-engineering-website-header-1024x645.jpg) _services Traffic Engineering and Road Safety Read more sur Traffic Engineering and Road Safety_ ![header-digital_data](https://www.systra.com/ireland/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2023/06/header-digital_data-1024x645.jpg) _services Digital Solutions and Software Development Read more sur Digital Solutions and Software Development_ ![Local Transport Modelling](https://www.systra.com/ireland/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2023/06/local-transport-modelling-1024x645.jpg) _services Local Transport Modelling Read more sur Local Transport Modelling_ ![strategic-traffic-modelling-website-header](https://www.systra.com/ireland/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2023/06/strategic-traffic-modelling-website-header-1024x645.jpg) _services Strategic Transport Modelling and Microsimulation Read more sur Strategic Transport Modelling and Microsimulation_ ## Check our other solutions ### Paramics Microsimulation ### Delta ### Eneval ### Opticharge ### Walkability ### PT Insight
