The fact that you can make out every single historical crash location in their prediction shows that this model is horribly overfit. (Edit: The paper does mention this general problem.)
Also, the rest of the prediction appears to just be the density of the road segmentation. Look at the parking lot (?) top left of the purple box (or all the road-rich neighborhoods in the right half):

Plenty high estimated risk, zero actual collisions.
You could get the same predictive quality with a simple gaussian blur of the "historical accidents" plots (road segmentation included), it seems.

I worked on a project like this for an insurance-oriented hackathon We created a heatmap from readily available historical data adjusted for traffic density, and played a sound on a mobile device when approaching "hotspots". For extra "wow" points we actually had someone drive out in my car and tracked them live as they drove around the location of the event, with hotspots showing up at places like where a blind entrance to the parking garage intersected with the road
