Course Title: Road Safety Engineering
1.0 Overview
The rapid development and expansion of the road network, along with an increase in the number
of registered motor vehicles, led to a substantial rise in levels of both passenger and freight
movement. Concomitantly, the number of road crashes and fatalities have increased at an alarming
rate. The fatalities in road crashes was documented as the ninth leading cause of deaths, worldwide,
in 2012. Over 1.3 million people were killed, worldwide, in road crashes during 2012. The
economic losses associated with road crashes exceed $250 billion, annually, just in developed
countries such as the United States. However, financial resources as well as manpower to collect
adequate data, understand causal factors, identify countermeasures, and implement
countermeasures to enhance safety (reduce the number of crashes and fatalities) have not increased
at the same rate. The limited financial resources and manpower has made prioritization and
allocation of resources efficiently even more important. Furthermore, the effort to enhance road
safety is a multidisciplinary problem involving engineering, enforcement and education (3 Es).
This course is designed for Executives, Engineers and Researchers of Transportation Engineering
to identify and study the factors contributing to road crashes, its data collection, analysis using
geospatial and statistical methods, prioritization, management and derivation of preventive
countermeasures (3 Es), and, before-after evaluations. The before-after evaluations include
behavioral studies (conflicts) at treatment sites or using historical crash data (say, three years
before and three years after). Overall, the evaluation of planned/existing roadway facilities will be
presented from a safety point of view while emphasising the need for consistent data collection
standards (crash data, geometric features, traffic characteristics, environmental conditions and
surrogate data).
2.0 Objectives:
The primary objectives of the course are as follows.
Highlighting the need for road safety and identification of various factors contributing to
road crashes.
Exposing participants about road crash data collection procedure, its analysis,
prioritization, management and derivation of preventive countermeasures, and, before-
after evaluations.
Explaining the procedure for evaluation of planned/existing roadway facilities from a
safety point of view as well as emphasis on the need for consistent data collection standards
(crash data, geometric features, traffic characteristics, environmental conditions and
surrogate data).
Training the participants related theortical and practical concepts.
