About iRAP
iRAP targets high-risk roads where large numbers are killed and seriously injured, and inspects them to identify where affordable programmes of safety engineering can reduce large numbers of deaths and serious injuries.
The initiative relies on a strong partnership of key local stakeholders and international experts to work together to make roads safe.
iRAP aims to:
- Generate and prioritise large, affordable, high-return programmes of safety engineering countermeasures using a globally consistent methodology
- Operate on a scale that is cost-efficient and can be project managed to deliver reductions in the cost of death and crippling injury that are economically significant
- Provide the methodology and procedures to implement performance tracking so that funding agencies are able to track outcomes and outputs and enable continuous global improvement in safety performance
- Provide the training, technology and reporting tools to build and sustain national, regional and local capability
- Share experience and knowledge of effective road safety programmes worldwide.
iRAP Road Safety Toolkit
iRAP and gTKP will launch web-based guidelines for designing and managing safer roads at the end of July 2008. The toolkit will be available as a free resource worldwide.
International Transport Statistic Database
iRAP has now released its international transport statistics database website at which collates transport statistics from many countries worldwide and permits site visitors to build their own charts and tables.
Vaccines for Roads - The new iRAP tools and their pilot application
iRAP launches its report describing the development of new inspection tools and the results from their pilot application over 10,000km in four countries - South Africa, Malaysia, Chile and Costa Rica.
