Transforming Road Safety in Africa

Rezultaty

Capacity audit and building plan

Capacity audit and building plan.The team will coordinate a road safety management capacity review across Africa. This includes identifying the key African agencies and personnel working in the regions, nations and at a city level.

Demonstration project updates

Demonstration project updates.This task will update on the developed demonstration actions based on the safe system approach, to be tested at different – national, regional, city and local levels based on the status of each African partner context where the actions will be piloted.

Recommendations for the deployment of the ASE systems for the stakeholders

Recommendations for the deployment of the ASE systems for the stakeholders.This Task will focus on implementation research of newly installed automated speed enforcement (ASE) tools in a low-income African country and design broadly transferable LMIC implementation guidelines from the Rwandan case study. The outcomes of the Task will be:•Comprehensively describe the implementation processes utilized for deployment of ASE infrastructure in Rwanda.•Calculate the outputs, impacts and cost-effectiveness of ASE in Rwanda over time.•Evaluate the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) related to ASE of Rwandan road users over time•Define recommendations for the deployment of the ASE systems for the stakeholders

Demonstration implementation plans

Demonstration implementation plans.The task will outline the concrete steps within the demonstration phase aimed at improving road safety in the respective demo areas and will link the intended demonstration actions to the capacity building interventions as well as their adaptation to the Safe System approach and methodologies developed.

Results of accident analysis and SoA review

Results of accident analysis and SoA reviewUnderstanding the accidents characteristics of involving the key target groups. In order to provide a substantial overview of the road traffic accidents for the key target groups in Africa, existing knowledge will be used to leverage a sound foundation for the development of several subsequent tasks of the project by means of extensive literature review focusing on seriously and fatally injured road users.

Capacity building tools and updates

Capacity building tools and updates.This task will develop a modular package of capacity building tools and methodologies, tailor- made to reflect local audiences’ needs. This package shall be regularly updated until the end of the project such that its value is maintained beyond the project’s lifetime, the result will also be shared through partner`s channels.

Concepts for local evaluations

Concepts for local evaluations of the demonstration actions

Peer-to-peer capacity building on sustainable road safety innovation

Peer-to-peer capacity building on sustainable road safety innovation.To provide the basis for the implementation and provide deeper insights into experiences in different cities, a secondment and staff-exchange programme will be set up in which professionals from local authorities and relevant stakeholders can work alongside their peers in one of the project´s partner cities.

A best practice toolkit for mitigating road accidents in Africa
Methodology for continuous surveillance for opportunities to improve road safety

Methodology for continuous surveillance for opportunities to improve road safety.This task will define the methodology for the assessment of road design and the built environment with a focus on vulnerable road user (VRU) safety, sustainability and replicability of the approach in the context of constrained resources common to Africa.

Dissemination activities summary - annual updates

Dissemination activities summary - annual updates.This task will implement the dissemination and communication strategy, develop and deploy information, tools, channels and platforms for the targeted stakeholders, and engage in wider dissemination of the content developed within the project.

Recommendations for vehicle safety and training material

Recommendations for vehicle safety and training material.This Task will analyse and propose processes to reduce the safety issues of all groups of vehicles, such as new, in-operation and used imported focusing on heavy-duty vehicles and vehicles used for public transport.

Regional training activity report, training package and developed Curricula for MSc and PhD

Regional training activity report, training package and developed Curricula for MSc and PhD.This task aims to cultivate an expert body of African traffic safety professionals and engage community networks with skills to investigate, document, and reduce the burden of road traffic injury across Africa.

Dissemination, exploitation and communication strategy

Dissemination, exploitation and communication strategy.This task will develop a coherent strategy to deliver communication, dissemination and exploitation activities of the project.

Policy and regulatory framework assessment

Policy and regulatory framework assessmentPerforming a review of the existing road safety policies Africa and propose to identify a set of well proven policies, strategies and suggestions in terms of best practises impacting the safety of the vulnerable key road users.

Baseline Report on Safe Systems theory in selected African countries

Baseline Report on Safe Systems theory in selected African countriesUsing the state-of-the-art in-depth database on crash data, vehicle features and damages, road users and their injuries developed in WP1 and the assessments on road design and infrastructure for VRU in WP3, determine which countries have, theoretically, integrated international and local standards into their road and traffic management systems.
