SBAKPI - Strategic Benchmarking and Key Performance Indicators
Overview
Background & policy context:
Detailed Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) have been developed over the years for safety, reliability, and value for money/ economy of road networks, often concentrating on the economic aspects. These have been very helpful in understanding the performance within National Road Administrations (NRA). However these currently do not provide an overall strategic and holistic picture of the performance of the road network managed by a NRA. To gain this picture NRAs need high level indicators including more environmental and social performance indicators.
Objectives:
To support NRAs, this project proposes a voluntary Benchmarking Framework to cover the development of KPIs. This would allow NRAs to manage their Environmental and Social Performance better and gain an insight into the performance of other NRAs with the aim of driving up environmental and social performance in Europe.
This would involve:
- Wide European based consultation programme engaging with NRAs, and other key Stakeholders.
- Development of a Benchmarking Framework for developing, reviewing and reporting on Environmental and Social KPIs.
- Identification of existing good KPI practice throughout Europe/Rest of World.
- Development of an initial set of KPIs identifying o Existing useable KPI o Core (Universal KPIs) which can be applied to all the Strategic Road Networks. o Regionally significant (KPIs) which may reflect geographic, constructional, management or developmental differences in the European regions
- Trial use of the Benchmark Framework and KPIs over a 6 month period
- Feedback and dissemination of results to NRA and Key Stakeholders and
- Further refining of the Framework and KPIs and publication of a final report and the tool.
