ROAD SAFETY IMPACT ASSESSMENT (RIA)

A Road Safety Impact Assessment (RIA) designates a

comparative scenario analysis of the impact that different

variations of alignment or interconnection points of new

roads or a substantial modification to the existing network will

have on the safety performance of the total (new and

adjacent) road network.

Generally the RIA is

carried out as part of a

broader impact

assessment which could

include environment,

traffic, etc.

Existing situation 982.512,56

Variant 1 641.900,04

Variant 2 734.486,66

Total costs of severe accidents per variant (in one year)

ROAD SAFETY AUDIT (RSA)

The most common definition of RSA is:

“A formal road safety examination of the road or traffic

project, or any other type of project which affects road users,

carried out by an independent, qualified auditor or team of

auditors who reports on the project accident potential and

safety performance for all kinds of road users”

ROAD ASSESSMENT PROGRAMS (iRAP, ...)

The International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP) was

established in 2006 as an umbrella organization for the

established Road Assessment Programmes in Europe

(EuroRAP), Australia (AusRAP) and US (usRAP) to promote

Road Assessment Programmes worldwide.

iRAP has also been created to facilitate work in low and middle

income countries.

ROAD SAFETY INSPECTION (RSI)

A Road Safety Inspection (RSI) is a systematic field study,

conducted by road safety expert or experts, of an existing

road or section of road to identify any hazards, faults and

deficiencies that may lead to serious accidents.

Following the principle “Prevention is better than cure” the RSI

makes it possible to evaluate existing road traffic facilities and to

improve the road safety performance.

BLACK SPOT MANAGEMENT (BSM)

A Black Spot management presents a systematic approach

for identification, analysis, treatment and evaluation of

used countermeasures of hazardous locations on the

road network.

The basis for Black Spot

identification is statistical

data analysis of road

accident recordings and

mapping of accidents.

Therefore, an accident

database is an essential

tool for Black Spot work.

IN-DEPTH STUDIES (IDS)

An in-depth study is a systematic approach to a fatal

transport system collapse. It will revile the cause of a tragedy

like an accident with killed persons. The study is initiated by

one fatal accident independent of where it occurs.

The aim is to find the

chain of events that led

to this particular accident

with focus on road and

environment and to suggest

measures to prevent this type

of accident from happen on

the same spot or any other

similar spots on the road

network.

NETWORK SAFETY MANAGEMENT (NSM)

Network Safety Management (NSM) is a method to identify,

localise and rank road sections of the whole existing

network, according to their potential savings in accident

costs.

NSM should eventually include the

identification and implementation of

countermeasures.

NSM applies to an existing road network

where accident data have been available

for several years and where accident

costs are known.

Experiences in implementation of Directive

(EU & non-EU countries)

34

Implementation of Directive in EU members:

- Mandatory for TEN-T network and in some cases also for

national network

- Ways of Directive implementation:

- As it is (already agreed to be implemented before if

become official) stated within Directive without

transposition into national legislation.

Supported with different Guidelines (Manuals).

Road Administrations do not have obstacles in

implementation.

- Transposition into national legislation (where it was

necessary).

35

Case study of Directive implementation

- CROATIA *

* Note:

Croatia is selected, because it is among youngest EU members and because

of its road and legal organization similar to EaPCs (Ex-Soviet model).

Black Spot Management (1/5)

One of first tasks of Public Enterprise “Road of Serbia” tasks was

identification of hazardous road locations.

-Problems: Missing of unreliable crash data…

-Solution: Developing of model for identification, categorization,

treatment and monitoring of hazardous road locations

(Black Spots).


Used method consists of five interconnected phases:

• Survey aimed at the identification of hazardous road locationscandidates… Experts from road maintenance enterprises and engineers –supervisors from PERS which supervise road conditions on a daily basiswere questioned. The survey was conducted on a territory basis and inaccordance with the responsibility of road maintenance enterprise andsupervisors.• In order to verify and rank hazardous road locations, a field research wasorganized. During that research, interviews with PERS• Traffic Safety Department engineers, Traffic Police officers, Ministry forInfrastructure state road inspectors and local authority representatives wereconducted.• Database about the candidates for hazardous road locations was made.Locations were ranked and marked as: I rank – red triangles, II rank – bluetriangles and III rank – green triangles.• Information about the risks related to the location were gathered fromthe perspective of road users, and analyzed.

77 of III rank (29.4%)


Map of dangerous locationson I and II category state roads

The Report indicated exact locations of dangerous locations asking for immediate remedy measures in order to prevent traffic accidents. In this context, measures for the improvement of certain dangerous locations on public roads have been already implemented.

So far, about 180 dangerous locations have been remedied or are in the remedy process, namely:

- About 100 dangerous locations are remedied;- About 50 dangerous locations are planned for making design

documents and implementation;- About 30 dangerous locations are eliminated because of changed

circumstances and complexity.

Research located 262 hazardous road locations on 1st and 2nd category state roads in Serbia.Detailed analysis showed that 184 locations (70.2%) belong to 1st category roads, and 78(29.8%) to 2nd category roads.The biggest number of locations, 187 (71.3%), were identified outside urban area, whileonly 75 (28.6%) were in urban area.The biggest number of locations (167 or 63.7%) were identified in the curves, in junctions(129 or 49,2%), on road structures (64 or 24.4%) and on

• Data on attitudes of participants in traffic. The data on attitudes of participants in traffic are collected in the Road Traffic Safety Agency. Research on the attitudes of traffic participants about dangers in road traffic was conducted during 2014.

The unified database of the Road Traffic Safety Agency contains the following data:

• Data on road accidents and consequences (persons involved in accidents), based on data from the Ministry of Interior (available from 1997 to date).

• Data on values of safety performance indicators (measuring started in 2013). The data on safety performance indicators are collected in the Road Traffic Safety Agency for each district (police department). Measuring of safety performance indicators is done two times a year (spring and fall counting), and the indicators measured can vary depending on the time of the year. http://serbia.gdi.net/azbs/
