Annually, approximately 42,000¹ people die in traffic-related incidents across Canada and the United States. Despite major investments in road safety, traditional crash-based approaches remain slow and outdated, often relying on data that lags by three to six years. Miovision CSM changes the game by enabling cities to act before tragedy strikes.

“Our Continuous Safety Monitoring solution is more than a tool; it’s a paradigm shift,” said Kurtis McBride, Co-Founder and CEO of Miovision. “We’re empowering municipal traffic engineers, Vision Zero leaders, and safety planners to see what used to go unnoticed. Instead of taking years to analyze crash reports following an incident, CSM allows them to act faster and validate improvements iteratively before tragedies happen.”

In one recent application, the City of Bellingham, Washington, leveraged Miovision’s CSM solution to proactively address road safety challenges as part of its Holly Street pilot project. By collecting real-time near-miss data, city engineers were able to identify high-risk conflict zones, particularly vehicle-cyclist interactions at right-turn intersections, before serious collisions occurred. After addressing them, the continuous data allowed Bellingham to evaluate a new infrastructure design, revealing a 33% increase in bicycle ridership, an 87% bike lane utilization rate. Coupled with strong community engagement efforts, Bellingham used Miovision’s technology not just for analysis, but to foster transparency and accelerate progress on its Vision Zero goals.
