The Route Review Tool (RRT) is a web-based application designed to support road safety engineers in translating iRAP assessment results into actionable improvements. It streamlines the process of reviewing model recommended Safer Roads Investment Plans, initial Star Ratings, and Fatal and Serious Injury (FSI) estimates.
With the RRT, users can apply their local knowledge and expertise to refine, and update recommended countermeasures directly within the platform. The tool offers access to over 170 potential engineering interventions, including 22 related specifically to speed management.
Detailed information can be viewed in the tool including:
- An image of the road from Google Streetview
- Mapping layers including:
- Star Ratings for each user group
- FSI estimates
- Compliance
- Safety gap (difference between the 85th percentile speed and the speed at which 3, 4 or 5 stars would be achieved)
- Road attributes
- The FSI profile for the route by all of the different road users and in combination
- The Speed profile for each route for each of the different road users
- The model generated Safer Roads Investment Plan and triggered countermeasures
- Star Rating and FSI tables
- Road attribute coding interface
- Lead Safety Indicators (including decimal Star Ratings, compliance, and safety gap)
The RRT provides intelligence about the safety performance along a route and supports the practitioner to model their proposed User Defined Investment Plans – the measures that they wish to implement. Once updated, the RRT generates reports showing the predicted impact of the selected countermeasures on Star Ratings and expected reductions in Fatal and Serious Injuries that can be used to inform business cases.
