Road Safety Resource
Scope of the Regional Road Safety Project
The project will develop a resource that ensures that regional ETP activities are strongly supported. The project will endeavour to ensure that data guides the structure of the regional programme by identifying issues and supporting the programme by providing packages of detailed and targeted analysis.
Preliminary work will include:
- A review of base data for the region.
- Standardised reporting frameworks will be agreed for headline data e.g. total number of accidents, total numbers of KSI, etc. Reporting queries will be written in SQL within the AccsMap systems allowing clarity for other analysts.
- Production of regional maps to demonstrate issues identified in the dataset.
Project Outputs
Initial analytical outputs to inform Calendar 2009/10 and support LAA reporting will include:
- KSIs
- Slights
- Drivers (such as people aged 17-24)
- Pedestrians
- Pedal cycles
- Motorcycles
- Good Vehicles
- Other products will include:
- Website where data will be posted including a suite of regional maps and supporting data
- Workshop / sharing best practice event
- Socio-demographic trends using Mosaic software, including deprivation
