Minister for Public Works and Transport, HE Tram Iv Tek, and senior officials recently met with iRAP to discuss opportunities to prevent road trauma in Cambodia.
The World Health Organization estimates that Cambodia experienced a road death rate of 17.2 deaths per 100,000 population in 2010. We estimate that deaths and serious injuries cost $474 million a year, or the equivalent of 4% of GDP.
Speaking during the meeting, the Minister said deaths from traffic crashes accounted for much-needed attention and urged the Department’s road engineers to pay high attention to the quality and safety of the roads.
The meetings were held in conjunction with an OECD ITF Netherlands-Cambodia twinning project involving Road Safety For All, Handicap International and GRSP.

Recent upgrades to the iRAP online software, ViDA, mean that for the first time everyone will be able to access interactive Road Data, Star Rating and Safer Roads Investment Plan reports online.
An important goal for iRAP is to ensure that everyone, whether it’s a transport minister, engineer, treasury official or road safety advocate, who has the potential to improve road infrastructure safety and save lives is able to access the results they need.
At the same time, Managers are empowered with a greater ability to control the level of access that people have to their data. Managers can choose options ranging from completely secure, private access for sensitive data to completely open, publicly-available access to results that complement a written report.
These upgrades are part of our continuous efforts to better meet the needs of road authorities, motoring clubs, research institutes and non-government organisations.
The upgrades outlined here apply only to the ViDA software. They do not affect the iRAP methodology (that is, they do not affect how Star Ratings and Safer Roads Investment Plans (SRIP) are calculated).
We hope you enjoy using the newly updated ViDA software. If you have any comments or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

New dashboard
We’ve created a new, easy to use dashboard that contains links to all the tools you’ll need.
The dashboard also includes “News” and “Activity feed” sections that provide the latest information.
New types of accounts
We’ve introduced three new types of accounts.
Reader Account – is for those who want to look at high-level reports (for example, members of the public, project stakeholders). This account allows you to view Final Published results and request access to Final Unpublished results. You can filter Road Data, Star Rating and SRIP reports to the Dataset level.
Analyst Account – is for those who want to look at detailed reports (for example, researchers, road authority engineers, project partners). This account is the same as the Reader Account, but adds the ability to filter Road Data, Star Rating and Investment Plan reports to the Road and Section levels. You can also access Download files.
Creator Account – is for those who want to create reports (for example, Road Assessment Programme managers, road designers, road safety auditors). This account is the same as the Analyst Account, but adds the ability to create and edit Datasets and produce reports. Note that the creation of a dataset requires the permission of the Project Manager, and the creation of a Project requires the permission of the Region Manager.
After logging in, you can check your account type by clicking on your name and selecting My Profile.
Existing users
If you currently have access to ViDA, your old account will automatically be transferred to one of the new accounts.
- Practioners are assigned a Reader Account.
- Managers are assigned an Analyst Account.
- Administrators are assigned a Creator Account.
New license agreement
We have created a new primary license agreement that sets out terms and conditions for use of ViDA.
All users of ViDA, including existing users, are required to agree to the terms and conditions. You will be prompted to do this the first time you login to the updated system. There is no cost for this license.
Anyone can apply for a Reader Account
By clicking ‘Register’ on the newly designed homepage and agreeing to the terms and conditions, anyone can now become a ViDA user.
By default all new ViDA users are assigned a Reader Account. If you want to access data in greater detail, you can request that your account is upgraded to an Analyst Account, or if you want to be able edit data, you can further request an upgrade to a Creator Account. Requests for account upgrades are considered by iRAP and can be made using the Upgrade Account button available on the new dashboard. After you have upgraded your account you are able to submit requests for access to reports.
Managers
It is now possible to specify who the Manager of a Road Assessment Program (RAP), Region, Project and Dataset is.
Managers are Creator Account holders that have the ability to assign other users with access to the data they are responsible for. The Manager may choose a level of access that is equal to or below the user’s account level. For example:
- A Programme Manager could assign an Analyst Account holder with Analyst level access to results for a Dataset within their Programme (that is, read only).
- A Project Manager could assign a Creator Account holder with Creator level access to a Dataset within their Project (that is, the ability to edit).
- A Dataset Manager could assign a Creator Account holder with Reader level access to results for their Dataset (that is, read only).
Dataset Managers can also set the status of their Datasets.
Setting the status of Datasets
Dataset Managers can now set the status of their Dataset.
There are five options:
- Working. This option is used when analyses are still being done. Reports are only available to those who have been assigned access, and the dataset name is not listed in the “Request Access” list (that is, the Dataset is not visible to other users).
- Draft. This option is used when the results are ready to be shared in draft format. Reports are only available to those who have been assigned access, and the Dataset is not listed in the “Request Access” list.
- Final Hidden. This option is used when the analyses are complete. Reports are only available to those who have been assigned access, and the Dataset is not listed in the “Request Access” list.
- Final Unpublished. This option is used when the analyses are complete but reports are not published. Reports are only available to those who have been assigned access, but the Dataset is listed in the “Request Access” list, enabling any ViDA user to request access to it. Dataset managers can approve or decline access as desired.
- Final Published. This option is used when the analyses are complete and reports are openly available. Standard “Final Published” reports are available to all ViDA users, and the Dataset is listed “Request Access” list, enabling any ViDA user to request access to it. Datasets may only be set to “Final Published” in agreement with the corresponding a Road Assessment Programme Manager and are subject to quality assurance checks.
Dataset status is set on the Dataset setup page. This can be accessed by selecting the “Project Setup & Access” button on the Dashboard, then navigating down to the Project, and then selecting edit from the dataset menu.
Anyone can request access to reports
All account holders can now use the “Request Access” button on the Dashboard to request access to standard suites of reports.
All account holders automatically gain access to a standard suite of Reader level access reports for Final Published Datasets.
Additionally:
- Reader Account holders may request Reader level access to Final Unpublished Datasets.
- Analyst and Creator Account holders may request Reader or Analyst level access to Final Published and Final Unpublished Datasets.
When making your request, you have the option of writing a supporting statement explaining, for example, why you would like access to the Dataset. You’ll be notified about the decision via the Activity feed on the Dashboard and by email. In the future, Creator Account holders will be able to request Creator level access to Datasets.
* For Creator Account holders the “Request Access” button is combined into the “Project Setup & Access” button.
Dataset managers are responsible for access requests
When a request for access to a Dataset is made, it is the responsibility of the corresponding Dataset Manager to respond.
Access requests are added to the corresponding Dataset Manager’s access request list, their “Activity feed” is updated with a notification and the “Access Requests” button appears on the Dashboard. At most, one notification of new requests will be provided each day, but all new requests will be available for review. In response to a request, the Dataset Manager is able to choose to:
- Approve the request and assign the level of access.
- Reject the request.
- Delete the request.
- Mark the request for later action.
A notification is provided if a user has requested access to data that has previously been rejected. In the future, when access to data is rejected, the manager will be asked to select one of a number of reasons why and they will be able to set up default rules so that particular types of requests can be automatically approved or rejected.

El Instituto de Investigación de Carreteras (Research Institute of Highway, RIOH) del Ministerio de Transporte de China ha recibido el premio al Mejor Desempeño (iRAP Asia Pacific Star Performer) otorgado por iRAP Asia Pacífico por el liderazgo de ChinaRAP.
El Programa de Evaluación de Carreteras de China (ChinaRAP), que realiza la Clasificación por Estrellas de sus carreteras en cuanto al riesgo de colisiones y desarrolla planes de contramedidas de seguridad, está siendo utilizado en 14 proyectos de ciudades y carreteras en todo China, ayudando a desarrollar proyectos de desarrollo de más de CNY 9 mil millones (US$ 1.5 mil millones).
Algunos ejemplos de proyectos de ChinaRAP son:
- En Yunnan, el equipo evaluó las carreteras de la ciudad e hizo recomendaciones para realizar mejoras a la seguridad, tales como veredas (aceras), reclasificación de los límites de velocidad y ciclovías, como parte del Proyecto de Transporte Urbano de la Prefectura de Yunnan Honghe, financiado por el Banco Mundial.
- En Shaanxi, el equipo está trabajando estrechamente con diseñadores para elevar las clasificaciones por estrellas respecto a la seguridad de casi 1000 km de vías como parte del Proyecto de Demostración de la Seguridad Vial de las Montañas de Shaanxi, financiado por el Banco de Desarrollo Asiático.
- En Anhui, el equipo trabajó estrechamente con los diseñadores del G316 para elevar las clasificaciones por estrellas de una nueva vía de clase 1. Estas mejoras son financiadas por el gobierno local de Wuhu.

Una evaluación de AusRAP realizada por RACQ muestra que las mejoras realizadas en un tramo de 12km de la Autopista Bruce en Queensland, Australia han permitido elevar su seguridad de 2 estrellas a 4 y 5 estrellas.
Anteriormente, el tramo de carretera tenía un límite de velocidad de 90km/h, no estaba dividida y tenía peligros al lado de la vía e intersecciones a nivel. El nuevo tramo tiene dos carriles en cada sentido que están separados por barreras de seguridad en la mediana que reducen el riesgo de colisiones frontales. Las barreras de seguridad laterales a la vía, que están especialmente diseñadas para proteger a las motociclistas, ayudan a reducir el riesgo de lesionarse en colisiones por salida de la vía. Un intercambio en desnivel reduce significativamente el riesgo de colisiones en intersecciones.
Como resultado de las mejoras en ingeniería, el límite de velocidad se pudo incrementar a 110 km/h y aun así el riesgo de muerte y lesiones graves se ha reducido a más de la mitad.
Las mejoras fueron una iniciativa de los Gobiernos de Australia y Queensland.

In cooperation with the Catalan Roads Agency, RACC has assessed 5,000 km of roads and produced a EUR 42.8 million investment plan that would save 1,400 fatalities and serious injuries over the next 20 years.
The main types of crashes that would be addressed are head-on crashes (which account for 30% of crashes) and junction crashes (20%).
The proposed countermeasures would complement work already being undertaken (see picture right) and include: median barriers on single-lane undivided roads, central hatching, intersection delineation and street lighting.
RACC and the Catalan Roads Agency (Direcció General d’infrastructures de transport terrestre) have agreed to continue working together to extend iRAP assessments to other networks, and to take the present recommendations into action through road maintenance contracts.

An AusRAP assessment by RACQ shows that the improvements made to a 12km section of the Bruce Highway in Queensland, Australia have lifted it from just 2-stars to 4- and 5-stars for safety.
Previously, the section of road had a speed limit of 90km/h, was undivided and had hazardous roadsides and ‘at-grade’ intersections. The new section has two lanes in each direction which are separated by median safety barriers that reduce the risk of head-on crashes. Roadside safety barriers, which are specially designed to protect motorcyclists, help to reduce the risk of injury in run-off road crashes. A ‘grade-separated’ interchange significantly reduces the risk of intersection crashes.
As a result of the engineering improvements, the speed limit was able to be lifted to 110km/h yet the risk of death and serious injury has more than halved.
The improvements were an initiative of the Australian and Queensland Governments.
