National Road Safety Week Webinar: What is the Safe System and how can we implement it?
The Safe System approach adopts a holistic view of the road transport system and the interactions between people, vehicles, and the road environment. It recognises that people will always make mistakes and may have road crashes – but those crashes should not result in death or serious injury.
Safe System Solutions require a comprehensive understanding of road users, which may not be possible to achieve through traditional road safety assessment techniques. The presentation explained the safe system approach, what it looks like in the real world and offers what solutions may look like. In this regard, Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based video analytics, together with traffic conflict techniques, offer a viable alternative to develop targeted road safety countermeasures and evaluate them. However, without considering the theoretical foundation of traffic conflicts and crashes, the estimation of crash risks might be misleading.
This webinar has been developed by the Safety Task Group set up under the AITPM Inclusive Mobility Program. The Safe System approach has been an area of focus for this group as it seeks to increase discussion on the challenges and opportunities to create positive action in our transport community.
