Road Safety Audits: From Concept to Results
The International Road Federation (IRF) is hosting a multi-day training on Road Safety Audits: From Concept to Results.
Road safety audit and inspections serve the common purpose of identifying risk factors related to road design or traffic control that may lead to crashes, or make crashes more severe. In many cases, they also assist network highway operators and city traffic departments in identifying engineering weaknesses and hazardous locations, even in the absence of robust traffic injury data.
Almost 85% of countries surveyed by the World Health Organization currently report implementing road safety audits or inspections, and it is important for all road safety professionals to understand how to design and implement them correctly for maximum safety benefits.
Learning Objectives:
- Focus on road deficiencies that lead to severe and fatal injuries
- Understand at which stages and how to conduct road safety audits
- Understand the benefits, resources & legal issues associated with road safety audits
- Identify data sources available to support the work of road safety auditors
- Use advanced methods to forecast & analyze traffic safety conditions
- Present findings to decision makers & make a compelling case for safety investments
- Learn how to prioritize audit findings within a set investment budget
