iRAP’s Star Rating Methodology has underpinned road safety assessments in more than 140 countries, informing 3-Star or better road upgrades that are transforming journeys for pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists and vehicle occupants across the world.
Now, informed by the latest global evidence on crash risk, iRAP’s current Star Rating model (version 3.02) is being updated. The new model (version 3.10), guided by experts and world-leading road safety research, will come online in May 2026 and be accessible via iRAP’s online platform, ViDA.
A further briefing is available through a knowledge session that will explore the key methodological enhancements that strengthen the precision, consistency and real-world applicability of version 3.10.
The introduction of version 3.10 directly contributes to the United Nations (UN) Decade of Action for Road Safety and the UN Decade of Sustainable Transport by providing a more rigorous, evidence-based framework to protect vulnerable road users and foster safer, more equitable transport networks.
