SHM is our patented measure of traffic hazard. It's a measure of physics, of traffic kinematics, making no predictions or assumptions, based on two main parameters:
Proximity (separation distance)
Motion (relative speed)
Our software uses movement data (or “tracks”) and computes the hazard posed between all pairs of traffic actors in a scene. As with a thermometer measuring the temperature of a solution, SHM is a continuous measure of collision hazard.

No other traffic safety measure in the industry fullfils all those characteristics at once - or even comes close.
The infrequency of collisions, and the many contributing factors beyond driver decision-making, render historical collision statistics of limited use to judge whether a driver (automated or human) is sufficiently safe to drive, particularly in congested and complex traffic conditions.
Counting collisions statistically requires billions of miles to allow for 95% confidence interval predictions.
The use of IMU data, drawn from cell phone accelerometers and gyroscopes, relies on the assumption that rapid decelerations — harsh breaking and turning — are related to risky driving behaviors.
But despite the high volume, cheaply available IMU data do not correlate well with risk and safety of vehicle operations.
Unlike (any) others, we measure interactions (i.e. non-collisions). When kinematic interactions are turned into degree of near-miss, they become effective predictors of the likelihood and severity of incidents (as proven in areas such as civil aviation or the chemical process industry).
How can we help your company?
Let's TalkOur software accepts movement data from humble dash-cams and traffic observation cameras, or tracks from sophisticated perception layers, and turns them into valuable actionable insights for your business.

Our software automatically classifies each pairwise traffic interaction each tick of the sensor clock, creating a unified typology of interactions similar to other classifications created by NHTSA and SAE.
All our clients are unique. Measuring collision hazard using SHM is new, and each customer uses it to answer different questions. We integrate with your processes and needs, providing what's needed to make it valuable.

We support software evaluation and licensing pathways for companies like automated vehicle system developers to use the SHM platform in whatever computing environment they require.
For video telematics companies (serving the commercial fleet world with move-the-needle safety services) we offer edge software integration and/or cloud analytical services.
And we partner with sector-leading consulting firms to extend the value of this universal measure of collision hazard.
