Objective
- To establish a methodology that can be applied generally to towns with different transport systems in different countries, to demonstrate how safety can be improved.
- To produce a framework and guidelines for the design and assessment of urban safety management schemes, based on the methodology.
- To demonstrate the validity of the framework and to apply elements of the methodology in a sample of towns.
Workpackage objectives:
- To collect, collate and report on research findings and current practice relevant to urban safety management.
- Investigate areas where knowledge is lacking and where it will prove difficult to give advice to practitioners.
- Design of a common descriptive framework that will identify all the elements that need to come together in an area-wide urban safety management project.
- To analyse and assess in macro and micro scales the available accident data and to identify a common methodology for accident analysis and a framework for design and assessment.
- Gather an overview of national experience on design principles, effect and evaluation methods for speed management in urban areas. A general concept for setting up a speed management programme. A general concept for assessment/evaluation of speed management principles implemented.
- Gather know data of two-wheeler rider accidents and list urban initiatives that could affect safety. Define risk exposure parameters for vulnerable road users, and for urban (road) environment vulnerability.
- Define assessment methodology. List and assess urban initiatives and traffic management measures that could affect safety.
- Identify urban policy issues and investigate their interactions. Investigate environmental/pollution issues and how these are affected by safety measures.
