By clicking on the Show button for project filters, reports can be filtered by RAPs (Road Assessment
Programmes), Projects and Datasets as shown in Figure 18. The project filters allow the user to view
results from any available datasets within a project that they have access to. The RAP can be changed by
selecting Select a different RAP at the bottom of the RAPs list. Use the check boxes to choose which
data is to be presented. In Figure 18 for example only the results from the South Australia and Tasmania
datasets within the AusRAP National Highways 2013 project will be shown. Once your selection is made
click on Apply filters & options to show the results for the selected datasets.
Figure 18 Filtering RAPs, Projects and Datasets
First time users will be presented with a tour of the filters to help introduce the features available.
Each report has several reporting options that can be accessed by clicking the Show button located next
to the Reporting options. The reporting options vary depending upon which report is selected but primarily
the options allow the user to display the results for different road user types, and either Before
implementation of the Safer Roads Investment Plan (SRIP), that is, showing the existing or baseline
condition, or After SRIP implementation, that is, assuming all countermeasures identified within the SRIP
have been implemented. Further details on the reporting options available for each report type will be
described in the following sections.
Figure 20 shows the reporting options for the Detailed Condition Report. The reporting options for this
report are Before or After SRIP implementation. Once your selection is made click on Apply filters &
options to show the results for the selected datasets.
Figure 20 Reporting options for Detailed Condition Reports
Each report contains a help button that, when selected, shows a description of the report along with an
explanation of the available reporting options. Links to further information and support are also provided.
See Figure 21 for location of help button and help text for the Detailed Condition Report.
Figure 21 Help text
The Detailed Condition Report lists the length or number and percentage of each category of road attribute
recorded during the survey. The data is presented in different groups including roadside attributes, mid-
block features, intersections, facilities for vulnerable road users (VRU), traffic flow information and vehicle
speeds.
Use the tabs to select a road category group and view the results. Figure 22 shows the Intersections data.
This report includes information on the number and type of intersections and access points on the selected
network. The reporting options for the Detailed Condition Report are Before or After SRIP implementation.
The Road Attribute Matrix can be used to show the length (and percentage) of road as distributed between
two road attributes. It can be used to compare the distribution of road length between two different road
attributes such as: Roadside severity - driver-side object and Roadside severity - driver-side distance or
Area type and Speed limit.
Use the reporting options to select two road attributes for comparison, then click Apply filters & options to
update the matrix. The additional reporting options for this report are Before and After SRIP
implementation.
Figure 23 Road Attribute Matrix
The Star Rating Map shows the smoothed (averaged) Star Rating results for different road user groups
allowing the user to see the change in risk across a road network. 5-star roads are shown as a green line
on the map, 4-star roads are coloured yellow, 3-star orange, 2-star red and 1-star black. Not applicable
(grey) is used where no Star Rating results have been generated for a particular road user. This may be
because the road user type is not present on the surveyed network (for example, often no pedestrian Star
Rating is produced on Expressways and Motorways), or the presence of major roadworks at the time of the
road survey has made it difficult to accurately record the infrastructure attributes needed to generate the
Star Ratings.
The reporting options can be used to select the Star Rating results for one of the road user groups. The
results can also be displayed Before or After SRIP implementation. Once your selection is made click the
Apply filters & options button to show the results for the selected datasets.
Use the map controls to navigate the map:
The arrows can be used to pan across the map (or left-click and drag to move the map).
Click on a Star Rating line to see the details of that road section (including road name and distance)
Drag and drop the orange man icon to activate Google Street View (where available)
The Map and Satellite options (top-right of map) allow the user to select different background
mapping styles
Figure 24 Star Rating Map and reporting options
The Star Rating Table shows the Star Rating results by length (in kilometres) and percentage for each of
the four road user groups (where available) for the dataset(s) selected.
The results are available as Smoothed (or averaged), in which the Star Ratings are averaged over a
specified length, as shown on the Star Rating map; or Raw in which the results are based on Star Ratings
for each 100 metre segment. The results can also be displayed Before or After SRIP implementation.
Once your selection is made click the Apply filters & options button to show the results for the selected
datasets.
Figure 25 Star Rating Table (reporting options: Smoothed, Before SRIP implementation)
Note for further information on smoothed Star Ratings see iRAP Methodology Fact Sheet 8: Smoothed
Star Ratings. http://irap.org/en/about-irap-3/methodology?download=136:irap-methodology-fact-sheet-8-
smoothed-star-ratings
The Star Rating Chart shows the Star Rating results by percentage for each of the four road user groups
(where available) for the dataset(s) selected.
The results are available as Smoothed or averaged, in which the Star Ratings are averaged over a
specified length, as shown on the Star Rating maps; or Raw in which the results are displayed as the sum
of the individual Star Ratings for each 100 metre segment. The results can also be displayed Before or
After SRIP implementation. Once your selection is made click on Apply filters & options to show the
results for the selected datasets.
Hover over the coloured bars on the chart to display the percentage for each Star Rating by road user type
as shown in Figure 26.
Figure 26 Star Rating Chart (reporting options: Raw, After SRIP implementation)
The risk worm is a line chart that shows the Star Rating Score (the Star Rating Score or SRS is the
numerical risk score that is the basis for the Star Rating) as it varies along the length of a section of road
selected in the project filters. The Star Rating bandings are shown in the chart background with the SRS
overlayed on top and road section distance displayed along the x-axis. Location details including dataset
name, road name, section name and distance can be displayed on the chart by hovering the cursor over
one of the 100 metre points. Risk worms are only available for individual road sections, therefore to create
a risk worm report users must select one section only per dataset using the project filter.
The results are available as Smoothed or averaged, in which the Star Ratings are averaged over a
specified length; or Raw in which the results are displayed for each 100 metre segment. The results can
also be displayed by road user type and Before or After SRIP implementation. Once your selection is
made click on Apply filters & options to show the results.
Note: this report is not available to users with Reader access. To view risk worms users with Reader
access must upgrade their account to Analyst. See Section 7 for further details on how to upgrade an
account.
Figure 27 Risk Worm (reporting options: Raw, Vehicle Occupant, Before SRIP implementation)
Multiple risk worms can be displayed within a single chart for comparison purposes. These risk charts can
be created by selecting a single road section from different datasets where available. This can be used to
compare a proposed design for a particular road section with the current (baseline) road section, as shown
in Figure 29, or between two different road design proposals.
To show multiple risk worms within the same chart simply use the project filter to select two different
datasets, then select the two roads containing the two sections that are to be compared. The final step is to
select the two sections that are to be shown on the chart and select the Apply filters & options button.
Figure 29 shows a comparison risk worm for an existing road section (dark blue) and the proposed design
(light blue) demonstrating the reduction in risk (for vehicle occupants) that the proposed design is likely to
achieve.
Figure 29 Multiple Risk Worm (reporting options: Raw, Vehicle Occupant, Before SRIP
implementation)
The Safer Roads Investment Plan table provides a summary of the Safer Roads Investment Plan and the
details of the recommended countermeasures. The summary includes:
Total FSIs Saved an estimate of the total number of fatal and serious injuries (FSIs) that could
be prevented over the life of the plan (usually 20 years) assuming all the recommended
countermeasures are implemented.
Total PV of Safety Benefits an estimate of the total present value (PV) of the economic benefits
(from crash cost savings) that could be realised over the life of the plan, assuming all the
recommended countermeasures are implemented.
Estimated Cost estimated total cost of implementation and maintenance of the recommended
countermeasures over the life of the plan.
Cost per FSI saved cost of implementing the countermeasures per fatal and serious injury
avoided.
Program BCR the benefit to cost ratio (BCR) is the estimated economic benefit divided by the
estimated cost of the countermeasures.
Figure 30 Safer Roads Investment Plan
The Predicted Casualty Reduction Map shows the predicted number of fatal and serious injuries that could
be prevented per kilometre, per year if all the countermeasures identified within the Safer Roads
Investment Plan are implemented. This map can help to prioritise the implementation of countermeasures
by identifying specific locations or road sections where the potential to save lives is greatest.
Figure 31 Predicted Casualty Reduction Map
The strip plan lists countermeasures identified in the Safer Roads Investment Plan (SRIP) by distance
along a section of road, as shown in Figure 32. A strip plan can be created by filtering the data to a single
road section and then selecting up to five different countermeasures to be displayed in the report table.
The report will show a marker for each 100 metre segment of road where each of the selected
countermeasures are recommended. Click on a marker to provide location details including a map, plus
economic details (in local currency) of the proposed countermeasure at that specific 100 metre segment as
shown in Figure 33.
