Information hub of the network
Collects data from:-
• Cameras – ANPR1,100 ANPR cameras, scrambled vehicle registration numbers. Used to calculate journey times between cameras. Data is updated every 5 minutes
• Sensors – Midas LoopsCalculate traffic flow, length of vehicle and speed. Data updated every 5 minutes. Early detection of issues/congestionWeather equipment – winds/fog
• Traffic officers• Police• Local Authorities

Road SafetyVision
KPI40% KSI reduction by 2020
OBJECTIVE No-one should be harmed whilst travelling on or working on the strategic road network.
APPROACHWe will continuously improve road safety and invest in our road network to prevent incidents from occurring, whilst reducing their severity.
GOALWe will achieve year on year reductions in casualties across our network
All Motorised Users and Non-Motorised Users
ROAD USER SAFETY ASPIRATION
VEHICLES
Encourage deployment of improved
vehicle safety technologies
for both active and
passive safety
ROAD SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMCollect data and carry out evidential research to monitor implementation and
effectiveness of the vision
Safe System Approach – Global System
Roads5* Safety Rating
across the network
No high speed vehicular and NMU conflict All mistakes
are survivable.
Vehicles Autonomous Fleet which
never breaks down
NCAP 5* Rating reduced
reliance on protection
People
100% compliance across the
network for the set standard of
road.

RIS 2015 – 2020/21 & Beyond
• Significant Investment Planned - £15billion (£105m dedicated safety fund and £45m for innovation).
• Safety a key component – fence to fence maintenance, new road investments and designated funding.
• Road Safety Regional Coordinators – Enhanced partnership working
• Safety Investment – targeted funding and incremental investment to manage highly variable environment.
• Recognition that certain measures more deliverable short-term, i.e. compliance, traffic management measures etc.
• Dualling all single carriageways would reduce their 2013 KSIs by around 50%!
Compliance capability model
• CFOA LGV initiative – CMPG Supported• Red X initiative• Middle Lane Hogging• Litter• Hard shoulder misuse
Aiming for complianceEnforcement last resort
The Future – Example Expressway
