Australian Road Assessment Program (AusRAP) John Metcalfe Director, Policy and Research Australian Automobile Association October 2005 Rating roads for risk

What is AusRAP? Does for roads what ANCAP does for cars Based on EuroRAP

Why has AusRAP been formed? Every day: –5 killed –60 seriously injured Need to reduce deaths and injuries by assessing risk of casualty crashes

Driving forces National Strategy: reduce fatality rate by 40% by 2010

A safe system Death and serious injury unacceptable Ordinary people make mistakes Road, car and driver work together to protect life

Safe system objective An ANCAP 5-star car plus a 5-star driver, and an AusRAP 5-star road equals no deaths

Twin protocols Risk Mapping –maps of death & injury rates on road links Road Protection Score –star ratings based on an inspection of safety features and roadside hazards

Risk maps Measures of risk Collective risk maps show the total number of casualty crashes over a given length. Individual risk maps show casualty crash rates per vehicle kilometre travelled. This is the risk rate for individual drivers.

Collective risk ratings New South Wales, Average annual casualty crashes per km

Individual risk ratings New South Wales, Average annual casualty crashes per 100m veh-km

Road Protection Score Uses Road Safety Risk Manager research Isolates inherent safety of road environment Output is a single measure, lending itself to easy communication

Road Protection Score Three crash types: –Run off road –Head on –Intersection ~ 80% of crash types

Road Protection Score

Conclusion AusRAP aims to reduce road trauma It is technically feasible Creates a common language for dialogue with public
