As a charity, iRAP’s focus is on enabling others and creating locally-led programmes and partnerships for 2030 impact. Our latest metrics quantify and celebrate the safer roads and capacity building success of our 25,000 RAP partners worldwide.
iRAP global metrics are drawn biannually, and key highlights as at 30 June show:
Bereik en beoordelingen
Programme activities are influencing the safety of roads in 170 countries.
iRAP partners worldwide have undertaken over 1.4 million kilometres of Star Rating Assessments and Designs in 109 countries. This includes, in the last 6 months, first assessments for Andorra and Burkina Faso and significant Star Rating activity in Australia, Brazil, Indonesia, South Africa, India, Ghana, Dominican Republic and Nepal.
Sterbeoordeling voor Ontwerpen (SB4O) is improving the safety of road designs and ensuring they meet the 3-star or better global standard before construction. Brazil has undertaken significant designs activity in the last 6 months.
A total of 1.6 million kilometres of Risk Mapping has been completed worldwide with new Risk Mapping in Spain, Tunisia and Slovenia since January.
In de gratis online software van iRAP is meer dan 6 miljoen kilometer aan wereldwijde weggegevens opgeslagen. ViDA used by 14,262 registered users. An additional 425,000km has been added by partners since January.
Sterbeoordeling voor scholen
De Sterrenwaardering voor scholen (SR4S) Het programma heeft wereldwijd een steeds grotere impact en draagt bij aan veiligere schoolreizen en de bescherming van kwetsbare jongeren.
The safety of 944 schools in 55 countries has now been assessed using the SR4S application.
First SR4S activity occurred in Costa Rica, Dominican Republic and Panama in the last 6 months. Countries leading the world in use of the application include Vietnam which has assessed 99 schools, India and Philippines (83 schools), USA (82), Uruguay (81), South Africa (66), Argentina (52) and Ghana (50).
Importantly, assessments have led to evidence-based safety upgrades in 217 schools. Post-construction Star Ratings have been produced for 118 locations with average Star Ratings before intervention found to be 2.5 stars, increasing to 4.7 out of 5 stars post-intervention – a wonderful safety result! Additional before and after intervention analysis found:
- The speed limit before interventions was 30km/h in 14% of the streets, and after interventions in 59% of the streets.
- Locations with no crossing facility decreased from 48% to 15%, while 12% of the locations received a raised crossing.
- Locations with no sidewalks reduced from 26% to 10%.
- Speed management increased from 18% to 65% of the assessed locations.
- The presence of school zone warnings increased from 40% to 75% in the locations assessed.
Opleiding en Accreditatie
Over 54,000 people have been trained in 159 countries in courses and events offered online and in-person (an additional 7.500 in the last 6 months). Many trainings are offered free-of-charge.
Training has been delivered in 17 languages including Albanian, Arabic, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Montenegrin, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Slovakian, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Swiss, Thai and Vietnamese.
234 individual suppliers and 17 inspection systems are now accredited in 45 countries to support iRAP specification services worldwide.
In the last 6 months, first suppliers have been accredited in Argentina, Austria, Cameroon, Netherlands, Panama and Zambia. Significant capacity jump has been recorded this period in accredited supplier numbers in Tanzania (16 new suppliers thanks to the Tien stappen voor het Tanzania-project), Brazil (up 9), Argentina (up 6), Italy and Philippines (up 5) and Indonesia (up 3).
As we unite to implement the Wereldwijd Plan voor het Tweede Decennium van Actie voor Verkeersveiligheid and create a world free of high-risk roads, the ability for partners to upskill and support their own national RAP Programmes is being well-supported in a virtual self-paced environment.
Beleggen veiliger gemaakt
More than $80 billion of investment in 65 countries has been made safer informed by iRAP assessments.
Beleid
65 wereldwijde, nationale en provinciale strategieën en investeringsprogramma's voor verkeersveiligheid bevatten nu iRAP-indicatoren en prestatiedoelen voor een veiligere weginfrastructuur – met een potentieel effect op de veiligheid van de wegen in elk land ter wereld. Bekijk ze op hier.
Het werk van iRAP en onze partners zou niet mogelijk zijn zonder de genereuze steun van onze belangrijkste donor, de FIA Stichting – our heartfelt thanks!
We applaud our partners’ success and encourage all countries to set their sights to 2030 and implementation of the Global Plan to achieve UN Targets 3 and 4 which include ensuring all new roads are built to a 3-star or better standard for all road users (Target 3), and more than 75% of travel is on the equivalent of 3-star or better roads for all road users by 2030 (Target 4).
Het bereiken van meer dan 75 procent van het reisverkeer over wegen met 3 sterren of beter tegen 2030 zal naar schatting 450.000 levens per jaar redden en 100 miljoen doden en ernstig gewonden voorkomen gedurende de 20 jaar dat behandelingen effectief zijn.
