Every year, hundreds of thousands of people lose their lives in road crashes, and millions more are seriously injured. In this context, new opportunities arise with connected vehicles: by collecting real-time data, they can anticipate risks, identify dangerous patterns, and guide life-saving interventions. 

This webinar will explore how local governments can leverage vehicle-generated data, such as speed, braking, and road conditions, while addressing key challenges like data standardization, privacy, and interoperability. It will showcase examples from cities and companies already leading the way.
