Development of a Geospatial Machine Learning Platform for Road Safety Enhancement

The client currently relies on limited data science tools with non-interactive analysis capabilities, restricting experimentation and visualization of geospatial safety data. Processes for data management including uploading, curation, and productization are manual, error-prone, and labor-intensive. This hampers efficient model development and real-time safety assessment for road segments, limiting the company's ability to deliver timely, actionable insights and demonstrate capabilities to stakeholders.
