Presentation Transcript

  1. • Major development of infrastructure safety • Major development of cost reduction

  2. - from 1 reduced annual fatality / 100 million EURO to 1 reduced annual fatality / 5 million EURO 20:1 in cost effectiveness

  3. Effectiveness from 20% to 90% in general

  4. Injury prevention in a system´s approach - Concentrate on fatal/serious injuries instead of accidents • Use energy transfer as link between infrastructure, speed • vehicle safety and restraint use

  5. Two perspectives on infrastructure safety - The individual´s desire to drive on a safe road • The society´s role to protect as many as possible

  6. Infrastructure safety rating must isolate the role of infrastructure from other factors • Statistical figures cannotdo that • Road Protection Score might do that

  7. Road Protection Score is only relevant when: • The vehicle is safe • The use is safe (sober, restrained, no speeding) EURO-RAP must stress this

  8. A Higher Road Protection Score can be achived in two different ways • By modifying the infrastructure • or • By reducing speed limits • (or both) EURO-RAP must support both ways

  9. EURO-RAP should stimulate innovations - not guide design

  10. In general – Sweden (SNRA), positive to an infrastructure safety rating scheme • Objective • In a system´s approach • Rating qualities – not specific design

  11. EURO-RAP can: • Increase the public understanding of infrastructure safety • Increase the public understanding of vehicle safety, speed • and other relevant factors • Increase the understanding of system safety among traffic • engineering, automotive industry and political system

  12. The maximum speed where the vehicle can protect a restrained occupant is: • 70 km/h in a frontal impact • 50 km/h in a side impact - 30 km/h in a pedestrian impact • Anything beyond these speeds involves • infrastructure treatments
