The improve transport for the user strategic priority is critical in ensuring the department delivers and maintains a transport system that meets the needs of the public and addresses what they care about most. It puts the needs and expectations of current and potential users (both passengers and freight customers) at the heart of the operation of the transport system and considers about end-to-end journeys, not just individual transport modes. It is focused on ensuring that our infrastructure and the services which use it meet the varied needs of businesses and the public, are attractive, affordable, sustainable, and resilient is a crucial goal for the department.

The project is relevant as it involves testing of innovative Safe System solutions for road safety, but it does not directly address the relationship between road safety interventions and reductions in casualties and KSI.
Reliable models to predict accident frequencies are essential to design and maintain safe road networks and yet the models in current use are based on data collected 20 or 30 years ago. Given that the national personal i...

The project aims to continuously update predictive accident models, which can provide insights into the relationship between road safety interventions and reductions in casualties and killed or seriously injured (KSI). The authors have the necessary expertise to competently answer the question.
Road traffic incidents involving vulnerable road users (pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists) are the 8th leading cause of death globally and according to WHO, around 1.4 million deaths occur each year. In Great Brita...

The project focuses on developing RoadRadar, a technology that aims to improve road safety for vulnerable road users. While it may not directly answer the question about the relationship between road safety interventions and reductions in casualties and KSI, it is relevant as it addresses the need for innovative safety solutions for vulnerable road users and aims to prevent incidents from occurring. The authors have the necessary expertise to competently work on this project.
