10 April 2024

Agilysis announce a brand-new paper in the Traffic Safety Research Journal , co-authored by Dan Campsall, and Research Director, Tanya Fosdick.

The paper delves into the global challenge of road traffic-related deaths and injuries, emphasizing the Safe System approach's significance in enhancing road safety. It highlights essential management functions and interventions crucial for successful implementation.

Road traffic related death and injury continues to be a major challenge globally. Unsafe road use is particularly evident in low- and middle-income countries while also being a growing concern for private sector organisations. The Safe System approach is recognized internationally as the leading approach to improving road safety and previous work has codified the essential management functions and interventions evident in its successful implementation. Tracking the development of Safe System adoption within the public and private sectors is of interest for several reasons.

This paper presents recent development and use of road safety maturity frameworks and discusses the utility of these approaches for road safety practitioners and researchers.
