Valerann: Using Data to Transform Road Traffic Management
Valerann is a global transport technology company working in the area of data analytics for road traffic management and road safety improvements. The advanced data analytics platform, Lanternn by Valerann™, processes in real time very large volumes of traffic-related data from a broad range of data sources to improve situational awareness for road traffic authorities. Using Al to detect and validate everts, assess risks, and monitor traffic conditions Valerann helps road operators respond faster and more effectively. Valerann has delivered impactful projects internationally – in Ireland and Europe, the US and Latin America. By enabling proactive traffic management rather than reactive responses, their technology reduces congestion, prevents collisions, and improves overall road safety. Examples of their work have been featured on BBC TechNow feature in international media, and recognised with numerous well-recognised awards in Europe and the US, including the Prince Michael International Road Safety Award, Intertraffic Inspiration Award, ITS UK President’s Award, the EU Excellence in Road Safety Award and IBTTA Toll Excellence Award.
Why Valerann Joined PACTS
Although Valerann’s current projects are outside the UK, membership in PACTS offers them a platform to stay connected to the UK road safety landscape, share insights from international deployments, and engage with policymakers and practitioners shaping the future of transport safety. This membership provides a unique opportunity to exchange knowledge and explore how cutting-edge traffic management technologies could inform the UK context in the future.
Current Focus: Challenges and Opportunities
Valerann is focused transforming road traffic management through empowering road authorities to be able take their decisions based on real-time data from their networks and be proactive in managing their networks. By integrating real-time information from infrastructure, vehicles, and analytics platforms, they aim to enable authorities to anticipate issues, optimise traffic flow, and reduce collision risk. Their work demonstrates the potential of technology to create safer, smarter, and more efficient transport networks globally, and offers a model for how data-driven approaches could contribute to road safety in any context.
Looking Ahead
Valerann’s vision is clear: where traffic systems are intelligent, responsive, end inherently safer. By supporting PACTS, they contribute to a broader conversation about innovation in transport safety helping to share lessons learned from international deployments.
