Researchers from the University of British Columbia have developed a new algorithm that identifies the safest route in a city’s road network with the lowest potential risk of collision, with the potential to integrate it with navigation applications that give real-time traffic visibility. Their study has been published in Analytic Methods in Accident Research. Navigation algorithm focused on safety Navigation applications are constantly evolving, and new features are being added to make driving easier. It can choose the fastest and shortest route to your destination and avoid congestion, and it can suggest an environmentally friendly route that results in less carbon emissions. The algorithm, developed by researchers from the University of British Columbia, added a feature…
