Flow Labs Partners with AirSage, Inc. to Deliver Top-Tier Vulnerable Road User Safety Data to Agencies
The new partnership will enhance Flow Labs’ safety analytics, providing the most accurate and in-depth insights for identifying high-risk traffic areas and behaviors involving pedestrians, bicyclists, and other vulnerable road users.
OAKLAND, California, August 22, 2024 – Flow Labs, a transportation software technology leader specializing in Artificial Intelligence (AI) that makes roads cleaner, clearer, and safer, today announced a new data partnership with AirSage, Inc., a leading provider of population movement data in the U.S. The new alliance will bolster Flow Labs’ vulnerable road user safety data, providing the platform with some of the most extensive Location-Based Service (LBS) information available, including comprehensive population analytics, movement patterns, and key safety insights for protecting pedestrians, bicycles, and more.
Traffic engineers have traditionally struggled to gather and integrate pedestrian safety data from various, often flawed sources, making it extremely difficult to understand pedestrian behaviors and risk factors around roadways. The Flow Labs platform streamlines this entire process by using AI to integrate LBS data and Pedestrian Push Button data with Connected Vehicle (CV) data. This integration allows traffic engineers to access a wealth of information to identify high-risk areas, analyze pedestrian volume, and assess conflicts with vehicle movements.
“Vulnerable road user safety is a critical concern for traffic engineers and road agencies, and until now, they lacked the tools to identify problem areas effectively,” said Jatish Patel, CEO and Founder of Flow Labs. “Our partnership with AirSage provides us with top-tier vulnerable road user location data, enabling the Flow Labs platform to accurately pinpoint high-risk safety areas for pedestrians and bicycles, ultimately helping agencies meet their safety goals.”
AirSage collects over 100 billion GPS data signals monthly from more than 200 million mobile devices, all obtained with "opt-in" consent from users who have consciously chosen to share location data.
“AirSage is thrilled to partner with Flow Labs. Our industry-leading mobility data has been trusted for more than 20 years so it is very well suited for this application. We are excited to see how our data can help all transportation planners and agencies make smarter, quicker decisions using the Flow Labs platform,” said Jonathan Silverberg, CTO & Co-President of AirSage.
Flow Labs hardware-free platform takes a proactive approach to safety by leveraging AI technology to detect patterns, analyze trends, and provide actionable insights that allow traffic engineers to implement preventive measures and prioritize resources effectively across entire regions. This process accelerates pedestrian safety studies by months, enabling agencies to quickly and accurately identify and address the highest risk areas across their roadways.
“We need to move beyond flawed and outdated safety data collection methods to protect lives,” Patel said. “By integrating Airsage’s data into our other streams, we now have the most advanced tools to identify problem areas for vulnerable road users, so traffic managers can implement solutions to prevent crashes before they occur.”
