NTT Ltd. has profiled iRAP Connect, iRAP’s Partner Management System, in their suite of ‘Technology for Good’ case studies alongside global innovations to unlock the mysteries of the universe, deliver rapid COVID response and track illegal poaching in Africa… to name just a few!
iRAP Global Programme and Communications Manager Judy Williams said iRAP Connect is proving to be a gamechanger for the charity.
“The Microsoft Dynamics 365 system built with sponsorship from FedEx and the technical support of NTT, is enabling us to track the activities of thousands of iRAP partners in more than 100 countries. It connects data on our countries, partners, projects, road assessments and upgrades, metrics, training and accreditation activities, knowledge and news.
“It has brought us clarity, coordination and efficiency. The system is giving us a holistic start-to-end view of the connections that are making a difference to eliminate high-risk roads – and most importantly the possibilities for progress and shared success,” Ms Williams said.
NTT , with 171 offices worldwide, has been assisting partners to use technology for business agility and innovation for over 65 years. In 2020 it became the Business Avenger for Sustainable Cities and Communities.
NTT’s Principal Consultant for Australia’s Digital Business John Armstrong said, “iRAP and its partners’ work saving lives across the world by eliminating high-risk roads has really resonated with our team. iRAP Connect is a great example of technology being used for good and we’ve been pleased to help the charity and play a part in saving lives.”
iRAP Connect has also been made possible thanks to the generous support of FIA Foundation, volunteer Nick Davey, an MS Dynamics 365 and Power Platform specialist, and Barhead who supported the initial system build on a pro bono basis.
“I am thrilled to report that the value and wisdoms of iRAP Connect will soon be shared with Road Assessment Programme Leads across the world with the development of a Partner Portal underway,” Ms Williams added.

Sobre o Programa Internacional de Avaliação Rodoviária (iRAP)
é uma organização beneficente registrada com a visão de um mundo livre de estradas de alto risco. A organização atua em mais de 100 países e trabalha com governos, bancos de desenvolvimento, clubes de mobilidade, organizações de pesquisa e ONGs de segurança viária para fornecer ferramentas, sistemas e treinamento gratuitos que tornam as estradas mais seguras. A Metodologia de Classificação por Estrelas da iRAP foi adotada como padrão global para estradas mais seguras e oferece uma medida simples e objetiva do nível de segurança inerente à via para ocupantes de veículos, motociclistas, ciclistas e pedestres. Uma estrada com 1 estrela é a menos segura e uma estrada com 5 estrelas é a mais segura. A organização, juntamente com parceiros em todo o mundo, influenciou a segurança de mais de US$ $75 bilhões em investimentos em infraestrutura, classificou mais de 1 milhão de km de estradas com estrelas e treinou mais de 22.000 pessoas globalmente. O iRAP é o programa guarda-chuva para programas regionais de avaliação de estradas, incluindo EuroRAP, ChinaRAP, AusRAP, usRAP, KiwiRAP, IndiaRAP, BrazilRAP, South Africa RAP, ThaiRAP e MyRAP, e é financiado pelo FIA Foundation, Global Road Safety Facility e FedEx.
