Road traffic injuries are a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, with nearly 1.2 million people killed and as many as 50 million people injured each year.

The 8th UN Global Road Safety Week offers an opportunity to urge actions at all levels and amongst all sectors of society to make walking, cycling and riding safe.

Join us on Friday 16 May - 15:00 CEST \ 9:00 EDT for the Launch of the Intelligent Motorcycle Road Safety Assessment App!

Motorcycle users are among the most vulnerable road users worldwide, accounting for nearly 30% of all road traffic deaths—a figure that rises to 60% in low- and middle-income countries. To contribute to motorcyclists’ safety, UNITAR is pleased to develop MotoAI: the Intelligent Motorcycle Road Safety Assessment App.

Developed by York University and launched during the 8th UN Global Road Safety Week 2025, MotoAI is an innovative, web-based platform powered by generative AI and designed to provide real-time, location-based motorcycle safety risk assessments and tailored recommendations for riders, planners, and policymakers.

MotoAI enables users to:

• Input data about their location and riding environment
• Calculate a Motorcycle Road Safety Index (MRSI) using 34 risk indicators
• Receive a risk score and tailored safety recommendations
• Visualize safety insights and risk levels on a map
• Adjust indicator weights to test different risk scenarios

1. Select your location

2. Input road safety data through a simple guided form

3. MotoAI calculates your Motorcycle Road Safety Index, based on 34 risk indicators across:

• Human behavior
• Road conditions
• Vehicle features
• Environmental factors
• Emergency response

4. Receive a risk level score, visual report, and personalized safety recommendations generated by a state-of-the-art AI model
