Through the project, TRL will identify the key challenges for RHD and other agencies in Bangladesh, to fulfill a mandate to ensure a safer roads network by identifying safety interventions derived from crash data and an improved road safety audit process. The project aims to achieve the following broader outcomes: an institutional framework for RHD in crash data collection and management; rollout of a crash data collection and management system for RHD; a roadmap to institutionalise road safety audit in RHD's business process; and an updated road safety audit manual. As with many countries, Bangladesh faces a challenge in collecting crash data. A large number of crashes occur in the country, but the estimates vary between international bodies, local NGO's, the police and the general public about the actual number of deaths and serious injuries happening on the network. TRL will use its expertise, from leading projects throughout the world, to identify opportunities to improve data collection, allowing appropriate evidence to be taken into consideration when planning and designing the road network. Additionally, TRL will support the roll-out of a crash data management system to provide evidence-based planning and design of the road network. |
