Free Tools for improving urban roads

11 September 2024

This programme first launched in 2023 will help authorities to better analyse their urban road networks and identify cost effective improvements targeted at reducing fatal and serious injuries. A fantastic example of local innovation building on the iRAP Star Rating Methodology to meet a local need. Through iRAP’s Innovation Framework, the project is one of several exciting initiatives underway globally that are Made Safer by iRAP and will help countries accelerate towards the global target of halving road death and injury by 2030.

ViDA  is a suite of free road safety tools provided by the International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP) to support its vision for a world free of high risk roads. ViDA enables the preparation and analysis of iRAP Star Ratings, Fatal and Serious Injury (FSI) Estimates and Safer Roads Investment Plans (SRIPs). It is the portal for iRAP’s tools – Star Rating for Designs, Star Rating for Schools and the Star Rating Demonstrator. ViDA has supported iRAP surveys and analysis in more than 100 countries globally.
