Crash Risk Mapping

O que é o Mapeamento de Risco de Acidentes?

Os mapas de risco de acidentes utilizam dados detalhados de acidentes para capturar o risco combinado resultante da interação entre usuários da via, veículos e o ambiente rodoviário. Os mapas de risco fornecem uma indicação do desempenho geral do sistema rodoviário.

The maps provide an at-a-glance and objective view of where fatal and serious injury crashes have occurred and where serious crash risk is greatest. Using a global methodology allows benchmarking where desired (e.g. crash rates on motorways; pedestrian crash rates in cities). Primary metrics include crash risk per kilometre/mile and crash risk per kilometre travelled.

Crash Risk Maps and Star Ratings are often used together as part of a strategic approach to managing risk and investment. They also provide a useful source of calibration for FSI Estimates and Investment Plans.
