The ARRB Transport Research and Austroads developed Road Safety Risk Manager will provide authorities with a powerful tool to manage, prioritise and track the status of road safety issues on their networks. The focus of the software is to provide road safety professionals with a tool to proactively assess road safety hazards and treatments for the purpose of prioritising actions. The Road Safety Risk Manager provides users with simple wizards, look-up tables and help functions to assess the risk associated with hazards and treatments, and ultimately calculate a Risk Reduction-Cost Ratio that can be used to prioritise treatments. Following the collection of site information, the tool allows the assessment of individual hazards and treatments in 5-10 minutes. The software also provides a simple way to track the status of any issue or record any actions taken, allowing traceability and transparency in decision making, and assist local governments demonstrate a responsible approach to managing road safety risk.
