MAAPcloud TRL'S new generation of its MAAP road traffic collision data software
The UK’s Transport Research Laboratory (491 TRL) has launched MAAPcloud, the new generation of its MAAP road traffic collision data software which it says provides a better fit with today’s technological environments, and offers additional capabilities.

MAAPcloud’s design allows flexible deployment; police forces, local authorities and other agencies can share a system and reduce costs, creating opportunities for cross-border and regional collaboration and data sharing. The online environment provides authorised users with access to powerful analytical tools; data, including the latest collision and casualty figures, are made available to all relevant users as soon as they are released.

With the UK Government committed to expanding the use of cloud technologies in the public sector, authorities are considering how this new way of working provides opportunities for collaboration.

Highway construction zone safety is taken seriously enough in the US to merit a special spring National Work Zone Awareness Week, which in 2010 ran from 19-23 April. Headed by the US Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), this aims to reduce an annual toll of work zone deaths - 720 in 2008 (an average of one every 10 hours) with more than 40,000 traffic injuries (an average of one every 13 minutes).
