Abstract

This paper examines the development of a Web based analytical tool for use in road safety planning in Queensland. Queensland is a large and diverse geographic area with high levels of economic and population growth. This provides for interesting challenges for planning and delivery of road safety throughout the state. Whilst road safety countermeasures can be implemented state wide, the geographic diversity can mean the effect is not the same overall. Using Web technology users are now able to access a single database of all major road crashes in Queensland. Queensland Transport has been collating information on road crashes since 1986 based on information collected by the Queensland Police Service and currently the system has the details of around 280,000 crashes on Queensland roads. A web application known as WebCrash2 provides the necessary tools for analysing road crashes in Queensland to allow key road safety stakeholders throughout Queensland to better plan and tailor road safety initiatives that improve the local environment.
