Concerned about a rise in highway fatalities in recent years, the U.S. Department of Transportation is launching a contest for cash prizes with the goal of finding “innovative analytical visualization tools” that will reveal insights into serious crashes and improve understanding of transportation safety.
The “Solving for Safety Visualization Challenge” is intended to serve as a platform to compel technology and data firms, transportation stakeholders and state and local agencies to develop innovative new data visualization tools, according to DOT.
