Overview
Background & policy context:
In 2008, the cost per-capita of road accidents for Marche Region was the fourth in Italy (Source: ACI-Istat, 2008). However available data could not be used to identify existing risk factors and define an efficient strategy for road safety management.
Objectives:
The project aimed at developing a road safety monitoring centre for the Marche Region, equipped with specific tools for data management and analysis plus a road safety Decision Support System.
Methodology:
The project was organised in 6 actions:
- Setting up of a road safety monitoring centre for Regional Administration
- Setting up of four road safety monitoring centres for Provincial Administration
- Development of a database including road accidents, Roads and Transport related data
- Development of a road safety Decision Support System for: black spots investigation, road safety related cost-benefits analysis, evaluation of road safety measures and Road Impact Assessment.
- Investigation of black spots on the main road net, identification of main risk factors and possible countermeasures
- Road safety awareness campaigns and project activities information.
Previously, web-based tools were developed to support the regional administration in road safety monitoring and in the identification of cost-effective road safety counter-measures.
