Case Study: Arup improves road accident analysis with CARTO

Arup uncovers London road accident hotspots and trends with CARTO by 2041

Arup, a global firm specializing in engineering, design, and consulting, faced the challenge of understanding road accident trends in London to help eliminate severe accidents by 2041. They needed a robust spatial data analysis framework to identify accident hotspots and contributing factors. To tackle this, Arup turned to vendor CARTO and used their CARTO Builder product for analysis.

CARTO provided a cloud-native platform that enabled Arup to conduct granular spatial analysis. Using CARTO Builder, Arup aggregated data into a grid and applied spatial autocorrelation techniques to identify accident hotspots and uncover crucial temporal trends. This solution allowed Arup to quickly visualize large-scale geospatial data and deliver insights, laying the foundation for more in-depth analysis with additional data sets.
