The Review of the Guide to Road Safety and Structure for Online Access project has updated the Guide to Road Safety (AGRS) with the latest research, primarily from Austroads published material, and restructured the guide for better online access and to allow content to be more easily added in the future.
The newly updated and restructured AGRS is the first step in delivering a guide to road safety that is easier for readers to navigate and one that aligns with the Towards Zero philosophy. It is a starting point for further improvements and the generation of potential future research projects, especially in the area of Safe Vehicles and Safe People.
The updated and restructured guide has the following structure:
- Part 1: Introduction and The Safe System
- Part 2: Safe Roads
- Part 3: Safe Speed
- Part 4: Safe People
- Part 5: Safe Vehicles
- Part 6: Managing Road Safety Audit and Part 6A: Implementing Road Safety Audit
- Part 7: Road Safety Strategy and Management
This webinar is the first in a two-part series to provide an overview of the updated guide. Focusing on Part 1, the session will explain how to use the guide and will outline key points for each of the new parts. It will also cover opportunities for future research.
There will be opportunities for questions and answers at the end of the session.
The webinar will be presented by Dr Tana Tan and Kenn Beer.
Dr Tana Tan has over ten years’ experience as a researcher, project manager, consultant and trainer. He has authored several peer reviewed papers on vehicle safety and has conducted evaluations of road safety treatments such as shared paths, protected roundabouts and Audio Tactile Line Marking. Tana also conducts training and capacity building domestically and overseas.
Kenn Beer is a Registered Professional Engineer, accredited Senior Road Safety Auditor, transport planner, trainer and assessor. He has 20 years’ experience in road safety engineering, planning, policy and strategy development.
