The problem
Every pedestrian crossing, traffic signal, or all-way stop request must be reviewed fairly and backed by evidence. Today, that review is manual, spreadsheet-heavy, and impossible to scale.
Increase in road-safety requests Vancouver received between 2013 and 2019, reaching 2,300 requests in a single year.
Of pedestrian crossing investigations Toronto completed within its 9-month service target in 2025, below the 90% goal.
What a city outsourcing 40 warrant studies a year can spend annually, before a single intersection is improved.
Searchable systems most municipalities have today to check whether a location has already been studied.
The solution
Not just warrant analysis, ViaWorks connects intake, prioritization, analysis, reporting, and historical recordkeeping into a single evidence-based workflow.
Before analysis begins, the platform searches historical records to find prior studies at the same or nearby locations, preventing duplicate work.
Requests are scored on urgency, crash history, proximity to schools, and repeat complaints, so high-risk locations rise to the top automatically.
Upload count data and the copilot flags gaps, runs warrant calculations to TAC/MUTCD standards, and populates the analysis form automatically.
Generates consistent, decision-ready reports and stakeholder communications, reviewed and approved by your own engineering staff.
Every analysis, decision, and document is archived and searchable, so institutional knowledge survives staff turnover and policy changes.
Once warranted, compare projects city-wide and rank implementation by safety benefit, equity, cost, and available funding.
How it works
A resident, school, or councillor submits a request through 311, a municipal form, or council channel.
ViaWorks checks for prior studies at the location and scores the request by urgency, safety risk, and equity.
An engineer uploads count and crash data; the copilot checks quality, runs warrant calculations, and drafts the report.
Engineering staff review and approve. The decision, warranted or not, is communicated and stored for good.
