An AusRAP National Webinar on 23 November will mark the transition of leadership of the Australian Road Assessment Programme from the Australian Automobile Association (AAA) para Austroads, celebrando 20 anos de sucesso e novas oportunidades compartilhadas para direcionamento e parcerias para eliminar estradas de alto risco no país.
Data: Tuesday 23 November 2021
Localização: Online, 16:00 – 17:00 AEDT
Organiser: Austroads
O Programa Australiano de Avaliação de Rodovias (AusRAP) foi introduzido na Austrália por clubes de mobilidade estaduais, com a AAA liderando em parceria com a Austroads, o Australian Road Research Board (ARRB) e o International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP). A parceria AusRAP tem trabalhado em conjunto com governos estaduais, territoriais e locais na otimização e medição de investimentos em segurança de infraestrutura desde 2001. Reconhecendo o uso extensivo dos protocolos e sistemas AusRAP em nível institucional por agências rodoviárias em toda a Austrália, a liderança do AusRAP está agora sendo transferida para a Austroads.
O Programa AusRAP, liderado pela Austroads, se baseará em uma extensa plataforma de experiência local e aplicação por agências governamentais estaduais e locais, clubes de mobilidade, Austroads e ARRB como um Centro de Excelência iRAP. No total, foram concluídas mais de 300.000 km de avaliações de classificação por estrelas e de planejamento de investimentos do AusRAP; mais de 40.000 km de mapeamento de riscos e mais de 400 km de projetos rodoviários receberam classificação por estrelas na Austrália. A parceria continuará a se beneficiar e a contribuir para as parcerias globais iRAP que estão em vigor em mais de 100 países em todo o mundo.
