Tel Aviv Vision Zero

Tel Aviv Vision Zero - Project is Currently Underway!

The City of Tel Aviv, known for its forward-thinking approach, is embarking on a groundbreaking initiative to establish a state-of-the-art digital twin. This cutting-edge technology will not only rely on highly detailed (HD) maps but also incorporate real-time data from various sources to create a comprehensive and dynamic replica of the city.

By harnessing the power of this digital twin, Tel Aviv aims to revolutionize the way it understands and analyzes accident-prone areas with a high frequency of incidents. The detailed simulation capabilities will enable city planners and policymakers to explore different scenarios and evaluate their potential impact on road safety. This data-driven approach will provide valuable insights for making informed decisions and implementing targeted measures to enhance the overall safety of the city’s transportation infrastructure.

Moreover, this initiative is not a solo endeavor. Tel Aviv is collaborating with two esteemed consortium members, bringing together expertise from both the public and private sectors. This collaboration will ensure a holistic and multidimensional approach to tackling the challenges of urban road safety. By combining the knowledge and resources of these partners, the city aims to create a safer and more efficient urban environment for its residents and visitors alike.

With this ambitious undertaking, Tel Aviv is poised to set a new standard in urban planning and development. The digital twin will serve as an invaluable tool for city management, enabling continuous monitoring, analysis, and optimization of various aspects, including traffic flow, pedestrian safety, and emergency response. By leveraging the advancements in technology and the collective efforts of its partners, Tel Aviv is paving the way towards a safer, smarter, and more sustainable cityscape.
