EvoRoads presents new integrated platform to strengthen road safety management

19 February 2026

The EvoRoads project has recently published a report titled KPIs Quantification Methodologies, Data Space, User Interfaces and Integrated Platform V1. The document establishes the first consolidated architectural and methodological baseline for the project’s integrated platform, which brings together dynamic Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), user interfaces and the Safe Mobility Data Space (SMDS) within a single structured backbone. The framework described in the report is designed to support evidence-based road infrastructure safety management across diverse European contexts, from dense urban environments to secondary rural road networks.

A core feature of the platform architecture is its emphasis on transferability. Rather than replicating solutions across sites, EvoRoads distinguishes between a shared architectural backbone and locally configurable tools. This approach enables the platform to adapt to varied operational contexts while maintaining consistency in logic, governance and integration. Each pilot deploys the same core system under different local conditions, supporting realistic scalability across regions.

The Safe Mobility Data Space plays a central role in enabling this scalability. The SMDS provides a structured environment for ingesting, harmonising and securely sharing heterogeneous road safety data. Through aligned data models, metadata standards and controlled access policies, it ensures interoperability across pilots while preserving data ownership, traceability and regulatory compliance.

Building on the framework established in the report, the platform transforms safety-related observations into actionable insights. Road operators can detect emerging risks — such as deteriorating pavement, damaged signage or connectivity gaps — using digital tools and prioritise preventive measures. This proactive approach shifts the focus from recording casualties to reducing risk exposure before collisions occur.
