Enhanced Efficiency: Your Updated SR4D Tool is Ready<\/strong><\/p>\n

As part of our commitment to continuous improvement and supporting the Global Decade of Action for Road Safety, we would like to remind you of the series of technical updates and recent bug fixes for the Star Rating for Designs (SR4D) web app.<\/p>\n

These enhancements to the SR4D web app were specifically introduced to boost your efficiency, flexibility, and overall experience when assessing existing roads.<\/p>\n

We want to thank our partners and users who participated in previous testing and piloting phases. Your feedback was crucial, and we are happy to confirm that known bugs have been addressed, resulting in a more stable and reliable platform.<\/p>\n

Key Updates Designed for a Better Workflow<\/strong><\/p>\n

The updated SR4D tool delivers several strategic enhancements that simplify key steps in the Star Rating assessment process.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. New Flexibility in Star Rating Generation<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    To support users to refine and update their assessment smoothly and efficiently the Quality Assurance (QA) process has been revised. Users are now able to generate Star Ratings prior to submission for before final QA sign-off. This means that the Star Rating for a road design can be generated at an earlier stage and the results used as part of its refinement.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Preventing Data Loss and Boosting Efficiency<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Coding bulk data is now safer than ever. A new dialog prompt has been added to flag unsaved changes when using the “Code all Tabs to All Segments” function. This simple but critical addition ensures no data is lost during your most intensive coding sessions, protecting your work and saving you time.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Global Usability and Accessibility<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        To better serve our international community, we\u2019ve updated attribute labels from “left\/right” to the more universal “driver-side\/passenger-side.” Furthermore, the tool now includes an option to clearly define drive-on-left or drive-on-right in your datasets, improving clarity and adaptability regardless of your location. Small updates like rounding distances in menus to two decimal places also contribute to a cleaner, more precise user interface.<\/p>\n

        The Path Forward: Training and the V1 Switch-Off<\/strong><\/p>\n

        Updated Training is Available Now:<\/strong>\u00a0To help you get the most out of these new features, the updated SR4D training course<\/a>\u00a0in English, French, and Bahasa Indonesia is now available. We encourage all current and new users to take this course to quickly master the enhanced workflow. We are working hard to update our supporting languages for both the tool and the training materials, with a rollout expected in 2026.<\/p>\n

        ACTION REQUIRED: SR4D V1 Retires on 1 March 2026 \u2013<\/strong>\u00a0As we focus all development and support efforts on the updated, improved version, the older SR4D V1 web app will be retired on 1 March 2026<\/strong>. On this date, V1 will no longer be supported or functional.<\/p>\n

        We strongly advise all users to begin the transition to the updated SR4D tool immediately. The updated tool is more efficient and stable.<\/p>\n
