Imagine a day when…• State and local authorities allocate

resources based on real world risks• Safety conscious consumers who

purchase 5-star cars can identify and choose to drive on 5-star roads

• A motorist will get a map or program their in-vehicle navigation system that shows the safest route from A to B

EuroRAPdeveloped by European motoring clubs

to evaluate the safety of roads using two methods:

a synthesis of available crash statistics summarized by crash location

a road safety review based on the design features of specific roadway sections.

AusRAPAustralia. The results of both EuroRAP

and AusRAP have been presented in the form of risk raps and star rating maps of the roadway system.

Applications for Risk Maps

• Effective safety management by highway agencies

• Better public understanding of highway safety needs

• Influence motorist route choice• Influence motorist behavior on

higher risk roads

Page 17: UsRAP United States Road Assessment Program Risk Mapping + Star Ratings January 29, 2009

What’s in it for road agencies?• Support statewide highway safety

plans• Implement and supplement ongoing

road safety programs• New analysis tools• New perspectives on road safety

problems• Assist w/performance metrics
