Case Study: Derbyshire County Council improves road safety and journey management with Causeway Live Link

Derbyshire County Council improving journeys and driver safety with Live Link

Derbyshire County Council faced significant challenges in managing its extensive road network, particularly during emergency weather events and incidents like the Toddbrook Dam collapse. The council struggled to quickly communicate urgent road closures to the public and, crucially, to drivers using navigation apps, which was a major concern for public safety. They turned to vendor Causeway Technologies and implemented its Live Link solution, which is integrated with the CausewayOne Network platform, to address this problem.

The solution from Causeway enabled the council to close roads and push that information instantly to major navigation apps like Google and Apple Maps. This provided real-time alerts to drivers, allowing them to reroute and significantly improving their safety. The impact was transformative, making the management of emergencies like floods and storms far more efficient. Causeway Technologies' tool has given the council the power to influence driver behavior and ensure the network runs smoothly during disruptive events.
