Case Study: Rutgers University achieves safer roadways and faster crash analysis with Numetric

How Greater Data Accessibility is Driving New Jersey to Safer Roadways

Rutgers University’s Center for Advanced Infrastructure and Transportation (CAIT) needed a better way to combine crash data from multiple agencies and share it with municipalities, police departments, and other safety stakeholders. Before the change, users relied on clunky tools, paper printouts, and manual comparisons to understand roadway safety trends, making it difficult to answer even basic questions about crash patterns and causes. Rutgers turned to Numetric for help, using its traffic and safety analytics app to make crash data more accessible and usable.

Numetric implemented a customized crash analysis platform that gave stakeholders direct access to visualized, searchable crash data and allowed them to drill into details by location, time, behavior, and other factors. With Numetric, Rutgers cut report-building and query time by 50%, reduced response times from hours to minutes, and gave users a much faster way to identify crash hotspots and support safer roadway decisions.
