  1. TheInternational Road Assessment Programmewww.irap.net

  2. This Presentation • iRAP’s aims and global programme • The new Vaccines for Roads • Real world results from pilot • What’s needed next

  3. In your pack and on the table... • Vaccines for Roads • Case Studies • Dysfunctional Roads • True Cost of Road Crashes • gTKP supported iRAP tools

  4. 1. How RAP Grew Globally • RAP formed as sister to NCAP • Response to: • targets to cut deaths by 50% • vision zero • 3% loss of global GDP • iRAP strategic, global agenda • generate large affordable programmes which fix roads

  5. From Arctic to MediterraneanEuroRAP quickly spread from 4 to 30 countries

  6. EC supported European Road Safety Atlas • Whole national and regional networks inspected with government • Rapid eastern growth

  7. Wider and deeper

  8. 15% states now Vision for all

  9. iRAP formed 2005

  10. .. and on to developing countries EuroRAP usRAP Malaysia Costa Rica AusRAP South Africa e Chile

  11. iRAP and World Bank GRSF MoU • 5-year MoU signed October 2006 • aim to have 40 states • by 2011

  12. World Bank 2008 Countries • Nigeria • Serbia • Peru • Argentina • Kenya enabling • Vietnam via AusAID

  13. 2. Protocols and new tools Policy eg -50% RAP PerformanceMonitoring Input for Methodology Engineering and Assessment

  14. A Safe Road System Road Vehicle Behaviour a shared responsibility

  15. Managing Energy – the human The human body cannot survive uncushioned impact of more than 40kph Insert video here of Child pedestrian From DfT video

  16. Surviving More Than 70kph A 4-star car alone cannot protect above 70kph. Legal speeds kill unless car and road work as a system. 90 kph – typical rural speed limit

  17. Managing Energy – the road 2-star car, 4-star road - not enough

  18. Vision Zero 5-star road users 5-star vehicles 5-star roads

  19. Crashes that Kill - Pedestrians and the vulnerable • Crossing the road • Moving along the road with other traffic

  20. Reducing Casualties to the Vulnerable footpaths crossings segregated lanes/space speed management

  21. Crashes that Kill - Vehicle occupants and riders • Head-on crashes • Brutal side impacts at junctions • Run-off crashes with roadside objects

  22. Reducing head on casualties 4-star single carriageway Central safety fences on single carriageways - Swedish standard at 3,500 vpd the world’s safest road type

  23. Reducing Side Impact Casualties Roundabouts, turning pockets Vehicles are slowed & turned. Impacts become glancing blows.

  24. Reducing Run-off Casualties Crash barriers, deformable signs and lighting columns

  25. Safer Infrastructure • self-explaining and forgiving roads • effective, affordable, measures have ultra high returns

  26. Three RAP International Protocols 1. Risk Mapping showing outcomes- deaths/serious injuries 2. Star Rating maps showing inbuilt safety of infrastructure 3. Performance Tracking how much have deaths reduced? hoe much has inbuilt safety improved?

  27. Protocol 1 - Risk Mapping Mapping risk of death and serious injury

  28. Protocol 2 - Performance Tracking • were fewer people killed on this road? • what counter-measures worked? • EuroRAP helped eliminate 50% of high risk routes in Britain in just 5 years – at negligible cost

  29. Protocol 3 - Star Ratingover 100,000 km road inspected Severe roadside Severe roadside Curves No pedestrian facilities Bad overtaking Narrow shoulders No shoulder Undivided Undivided, no median markings

  30. iRAP Star Rating Model • International team assembled research knowledge from around the world • Safety of road for cars, motorcyclists, pedestrians and bicyclists • Based on inspection data – over 30 attributes

  31. Vaccines for Roads Define the network RPS and Star Rating Road Inspections Apply Countermeasures Apply Economic Test Road Investment Program

  32. Malaysia – Road Safety Outline • 17 fatalities per day • 6,282 deaths in 2007 • 23 fatalities per 100,000 population • Cost of crashes USD 3 billion • 2-3% of GDP

  33. iRAP Malaysia Safer Roads A team approach

  34. Road Inspection Technologies • Portable • Tablet based on-road survey • Multi-camera • Office based rating

  35. iRAP Malaysia Summary • 3,700 kilometres of peninsula Malaysia assessed • 3 camera GPS-linked video system • Images assessed every 100m • Media activities in every state

  36. Star Maps or Federal Roads Cars 60% Motorcyclists 58% Bicyclists 81%* Pedestrians 52%* * where demand exists Motorcyclists

  37. # 1 – Fatal Roadside Crashes 880 lives saved * Over 20 years

  38. # 2 – Fatal Head-on Crashes 750 lives saved * Over 20 years

  39. # 3 – Fatal Motorcyclist Crashes 82 lives saved * Over 20 years

  40. Investment Summary • 3,700 km of road inspected with priority road safety interventions identified (5% of network) • USD 170 million initial investment • Save 2,900 lives and 29,000 serious injuries (20 years) • 32% reduction in road trauma • Program BCR of 16:1 2,900 lives saved

  41. iRAP Malaysia • Target quick wins and demonstration corridor (10% of annual budget) • JKR to extend survey to rest of their network • Major input to 10th Malaysia Plan (5 year investment strategy) • iRAP an integral part of authority performance management

  42. iRAP Software • Used to generate all the pilot study results • Star ratings and maps • Fatality estimations • Countermeasure Program • Multi-country reports

  43. Mapping and Hawkeye Video Data

  44. iRAP Toolkit www.irap.net/toolkit • Supported by gTKP Supported by gTKP

  45. iRAP Toolkit www.irap.net/toolkit • Supported by gTKP Supported by gTKP

  46. Reports • Malaysia, Costa Rica, Chile and South Africa Report launched soon

  47. Results from all the Pilots

  48. Pilot Summary • globally applicable and consistent • money targeted to high returns • spending impact can be tracked • continuous improvement

  49. Issues • Speed management matters • Partnership not Parachutes • Social inclusion

  50. We must commit to action • We now have the vaccines • Now we need the management
