1 Austroads National Risk Assessment Model (ANRAM) Chris Jurewicz, ARRB

2 Overview Context What is ANRAM? How it is used? Severe crash risk estimation ANRAM Toolkit Next steps 2

3 Context Diminishing blackspots Only a third of fatal crashes occur at blackspots Casualty crashes scattered on rural and LGA roads Blackspot treatments alone cannot reach strategy goals Emerging need for proactive approach Crash risk assessment since the late 1980s (e.g. RSAs) Austroads >10 year investment in research Confidence in identification of crash risk National Road Safety Strategy , First Actions 3

4 What is ANRAM? Australian National Risk Assessment Model A consistent method for the whole country Based on Australian crash data, speeds & traffic For all jurisdictions, state and local government Fatal and serious injury crash focus, proactive & reactive. Outcome of a 4-year Austroads research project Collaboration with irap 4

5 Uses of ANRAM Identify FSI crash risk across the road network Prioritise routes and road sections Target priority crash types, e.g. intersection Develop treatments and programs Measure progress towards Safe System infrastructure 5

6 Severe crash risk estimation Run-off-road Head-on Intersection Pedestrian Other 6

7 FSI crash risk analysis ANRAM Toolkit

8 FSI crash risk analysis ANRAM Toolkit ANRAM FSI Predicted FSI Observed FSI

9 FSI crash risk analysis ANRAM Toolkit Estimate FSI crash reductions from treatments Create road improvement treatment programs Estimate BCRs Section, route, network, state- and nation-wide programs 9

10 Next steps Trials by jurisdictions feedback and refinement Nationwide implementation Incorporation into AusRAP/ViDA tools Funding programs based on risk assessment Direction of development to be coordinated by ANRAM Steering Group and Technical Working Group

11 Thank you Chris Jurewicz ARRB 11

13 Strategic Approach NZ example Recognises roles of different approaches, e.g. big projects vs. mass action treatment plans Importance of Safety Maintenance and safety gains through asset management and technology improvements ANRAM quantifies benefits for all approaches 13

14 Road attributes Observed FSI crashes Crash type Run-off-road Head-on Intersection Pedestrian Other SRS Network average SRS = WF x f(aadt, L) = Predicted FSI crashes EB ANRAM FSI crashes 14

15 Severe crash risk prediction 15
