Data for Road Safety
A trusted ecosystem for Safety-Related Traffic Information
DFRS brings together public authorities, road operators, vehicle manufacturers, suppliers and service providers to enable the exchange of Safety-Related Traffic Information (SRTI). By sharing safety data generated by vehicles and infrastructure, the ecosystem helps improve the reach and effectiveness of road safety information.
MissionWhat we are here for
Making Europe’s roads safer through collaboration and the open exchange of data.
We unite public authorities, vehicle manufacturers, and mobility data providers in a single, trusted ecosystem enabling real-time exchange of safety related traffic information across borders, sectors, and systems. Together, we create the environment to enable faster detection of dangerous situations, respond smarter, and protect all road users.
VisionWhere the ecosystem is heading
A Europe where no life is lost on the road due to a lack of shared information.
We envision a connected continent where safety related traffic data flows freely between every vehicle, road operator, and crowd source data provider — eliminating the blind spots that cost lives. DFRS is the backbone that makes this possible: open, scalable, and built on genuine collaboration between those who move Europe and those who protect it.

DFRS Live Map
Visualising safety events across Europe
The DFRS live map is a tool that provides a holistic view of safety-related events occurring in the past 48 hours.
DFRS & Euro NCAP self-declarations
Supporting vehicle safety through data sharing
In cooperation with Euro NCAP, the self-declarations provide a common framework for demonstrating how safety-related information is shared, processed and used within the ecosystem, supporting future vehicle safety assessments.

Voices from the ecosystemMembers of the ecosystem
The DFRS platform helps us to bring partners of various sectors together, to jointly pioneer, test and deploy innovation and to deliver for a better society
Using anonymous probe vehicles and crowd-sourced data, we are able to detect safety-critical situations — on average — 12 minutes earlier and detect more than ten times as many critical events
The collaboration between the public and private sectors means the problems that are being tackled are greater than any one organisation to tackle alone and are likely to impact the greater good.
At DFRS my responsibility is to build trust around the data and share it in the most simple way so others can integrate it instantly to perceive the value
Sharing safety-related traffic information across the ecosystem allows us to reach far more drivers than any single organisation could on its own
We provide the technological backbone that supports the convergence of data from multiple sources and produces relevant traffic information, enabling the consortium to harness the potential of Big Data analytics
Safety-related traffic information only reaches its full potential when it crosses brand and border lines — that is exactly what this ecosystem was built for
