  1. Data for Effective Policies to Reduce Killed and Seriously Injured Road Users Stephen Perkins Head of Research International Transport Forum at the OECD

  2. Outline Introduce • IRTAD International Road Traffic Safety Data and Analysis Group Focus on • Membership and twinning potential • Latest safety performance data • Safe System and matching policies to targets • Serious injury data and reporting • Motorcycling safety • Safe System: Evidence of impact

  3. The International Transport Forum at the OECD

  4. IRTAD-LAC IRTAD70 members from 35 countries

  5. IRTAD Output • Annual report on performance in member countries • Road safety database • Research reports: • Reporting on serious injuries • Speed and crash risk • Annual meetings X2, permanent networking • Twinningprojectswith new countries www.internationaltransportforum.org/irtadpublic/index.html

  6. Latest IRTAD data: Reduction in Fatalities Change 2011/2001

  7. Killed / 100 000 population in 2011

  8. Killed / billion vehicle km in 2011

  9. Killed / 10 000 vehicles in 2011

  10. Latest IRTAD data: Reduction in Fatalities Change 2011/2001

  11. Contemporary Road Safety PolicyAmbitious Targets and the Safe System Approach • Sweden and Netherlands led the way • Vision Zero and Sustainable Safety • Inspiring long term vision to eliminate deaths and serious injuries • Steady progress through interim targets based on funded interventions • Netherlands targets 2020: • Deaths < 500 • Serious injuries < 10 600 • Focus moving to serious injuries

  12. The Serious Injury Problem • Why slower progress? • Can we trust the data? x 2 x 4

  13. We need better injury record systems • To assess the real number of serious injuries • Real costs of road crashes • To understand the consequences of different crash types • To design adequate countermeasures to reduce serious injures

  14. Maximum Abbreviated Injury Scale: MAIS3+ Example Report: http://www.internationaltransportforum.org/irtadpublic/pdf/Road-Casualties-Web.pdf

  15. Reporting injuries: IRTAD recommendations • Complement police data with hospital data • Medics not police best at assessing severity of injuries • Link police and hospital data • Both sets of data incomplete • Deterministic and probabilistic methods exist • To link and estimate overall total

  16. Seriously injured Log scale Using Linked and MAIS DataSWOV Reporting to IRTAD Netherlands Police Data Netherlands Linked Data

  17. Using Linked and MAIS Data: SWOV Road Safety Outlook 2020 Impact of Measures in 2012 Road Safety Policy Stimulus Targets 100 6 500 - 8 500 Impact of Potential Extra Measures

  18. Killed / 100 000 pop using real estimates for NL, 2011

  19. Motorcycling safety working group • Will report in 2013 • Acknowledges rapidly growing road user share of PTWs, for essential and for recreational use • Recommends: • Training for all road users to protect PTW riders • Infrastructure treatments in key locations • Advanced braking systems

  20. Safe System Policy: Evidence of Impact • Working group to be established fall 2013 Cycling Safety • Report to be published 2013 • Chair NielsTorlsov, Copenhagen

  21. Concluding remarks • Data matters for effective policy • IRTAD Triennial Research Conference, with PIARC Buenos Aires 11-14 November 2013 Web IRTAD OISEVI PIARC International Transport Forum
