This Presentation • iRAP’s aims and global programme • The new Vaccines for Roads • Real world results from pilot • What’s needed next
In your pack and on the table... • Vaccines for Roads • Case Studies • Dysfunctional Roads • True Cost of Road Crashes • gTKP supported iRAP tools
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
From Arctic to MediterraneanEuroRAP quickly spread from 4 to 30 countries
EC supported European Road Safety Atlas • Whole national and regional networks inspected with government • Rapid eastern growth
15% states now Vision for all
.. and on to developing countries EuroRAP usRAP Malaysia Costa Rica AusRAP South Africa e Chile
iRAP and World Bank GRSF MoU • 5-year MoU signed October 2006 • aim to have 40 states • by 2011
World Bank 2008 Countries • Nigeria • Serbia • Peru • Argentina • Kenya enabling • Vietnam via AusAID
2. Protocols and new tools Policy eg -50% RAP PerformanceMonitoring Input for Methodology Engineering and Assessment
A Safe Road System Road Vehicle Behaviour a shared responsibility
Managing Energy – the human The human body cannot survive uncushioned impact of more than 40kph Insert video here of Child pedestrian From DfT video
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
Managing Energy – the road 2-star car, 4-star road - not enough
Vision Zero 5-star road users 5-star vehicles 5-star roads
Crashes that Kill - Pedestrians and the vulnerable • Crossing the road • Moving along the road with other traffic
Reducing Casualties to the Vulnerable footpaths crossings segregated lanes/space speed management
Crashes that Kill - Vehicle occupants and riders • Head-on crashes • Brutal side impacts at junctions • Run-off crashes with roadside objects
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
Reducing Side Impact Casualties Roundabouts, turning pockets Vehicles are slowed & turned. Impacts become glancing blows.
Reducing Run-off Casualties Crash barriers, deformable signs and lighting columns
Safer Infrastructure • self-explaining and forgiving roads • effective, affordable, measures have ultra high returns
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?
Protocol 1 - Risk Mapping Mapping risk of death and serious injury
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
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
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
Vaccines for Roads Define the network RPS and Star Rating Road Inspections Apply Countermeasures Apply Economic Test Road Investment Program
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
iRAP Malaysia Safer Roads A team approach
Road Inspection Technologies • Portable • Tablet based on-road survey • Multi-camera • Office based rating
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
Star Maps or Federal Roads Cars 60% Motorcyclists 58% Bicyclists 81%* Pedestrians 52%* * where demand exists Motorcyclists
# 1 – Fatal Roadside Crashes 880 lives saved * Over 20 years
# 2 – Fatal Head-on Crashes 750 lives saved * Over 20 years
# 3 – Fatal Motorcyclist Crashes 82 lives saved * Over 20 years
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
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
iRAP Software • Used to generate all the pilot study results • Star ratings and maps • Fatality estimations • Countermeasure Program • Multi-country reports
iRAP Toolkit www.irap.net/toolkit • Supported by gTKP Supported by gTKP
iRAP Toolkit www.irap.net/toolkit • Supported by gTKP Supported by gTKP
Reports • Malaysia, Costa Rica, Chile and South Africa Report launched soon
Pilot Summary • globally applicable and consistent • money targeted to high returns • spending impact can be tracked • continuous improvement
Issues • Speed management matters • Partnership not Parachutes • Social inclusion
We must commit to action • We now have the vaccines • Now we need the management
