Abstract

The Road Safety Risk Manager process has been developed to provide road safety professionals with a tool to proactively assess road safety hazards and treatments for the purpose of prioritising actions. The tool adopts a risk management approach, with the ultimate aim of maximising the risk reduction on the road network for a given budget. Austroads commissioned ARRB Transport Research to develop a procedure to rank the recommendations emanating from the road safety audit of existing roads. Based on the findings of this project the risk management approach to prioritising road safety treatments was developed. Following inclusion of treatment costs, the derived risk-cost ratio forms the basis of prioritising the proposed works. Current developments are focussed on the development of a user friendly computer based system that can be used by auditors, investigators, project managers and asset owners to meet their specific needs of risk identification, risk management and the development of remedial treatment programs.
