Identify risks today. Prevent serious crashes tomorrow.
Crash history tells you where people have already been killed or seriously injured. Network risk assessment helps you look ahead – identifying where road and roadside conditions create risk before another serious crash occurs.
This one-day, face-to-face course gives road authorities, practitioners, planners and decision-makers a practical introduction to assessing infrastructure risk across road networks. It explains the principal models used in Australia, what each can reveal and how their results can support safer, more defensible investment decisions.
Explore the Australian Road Assessment Program (AusRAP), the Australian National Risk Assessment Model (ANRAM) and Austroads Network Design for Road Safety. Learn how these approaches evaluate risk, where they differ, what their limitations are and how to select the most useful model for the task at hand.
Move from analysis to action by examining how assessment results can identify high-risk sections, set measurable safety targets and prioritise treatments. See how Star Ratings, Fatal and Serious Injury estimates, Safer Road Investment Plans and Network Safety Plans can help shape programs of work, assess design options and demonstrate the expected safety return on investment.
The course also explores how network-level evidence can strengthen policy, funding and business cases. Australian case studies show how risk assessment has helped direct investment, improve road safety performance and measure progress towards Safe System and Vision Zero objectives.
Delivered face to face by NTRO specialists with deep experience in infrastructure risk assessment, AusRAP, ANRAM and Safe System practice, the course gives you direct access to the people who understand these models in detail. Ask questions as they arise, examine how the approaches apply to your own network and learn from discussion with practitioners facing similar planning and investment challenges.
NTRO has more than 20 years’ experience in infrastructure risk assessment, helped develop the AusRAP and ANRAM methodologies, delivered Austroads’ road stereotypes research and operates as an iRAP Centre of Excellence.
