ROAD SAFETY INSPECTION

WHAT IS RSI?

  • Road Safety Inspection (RSI) is a systematic and

internationally recognized road safety inspection procedure by the PIARC (World Road Congress), under the Technical Committee of PIARC (TC 3.1)

  • A Road Safety Inspection (RSI) is a systematic, on site

review, conducted by expert(s), of an existing road or section of road to identify hazardous conditions, faults and deficiencies that may lead to serious road crash

  • RSI’s aim
  • Remove or minimize the likelihood of a crash and its

severity.

  • Identify features that may contribute to crashes,
  • Propose recommendations to improve the safety

conditions based on inspection results.

“A road safety audit (RSA) and a road safety inspection (RSI) are used to test the safety level of the road infrastructure. The RSA tests the design of new roads or the reconstruction of existing roads, whereas the RSI is used for testing existing roads.”

Qualification Civil engineering – Road Traffic Engineer Interdisciplinary - Civil, Biomechanical, Psychologist, Social Science, etc. Reporting

  • Audit the project by road standards and

guidelines and potential crash

  • ccurrence and may or may not suggest

improvement to the designer

  • Inspect on road safety problems on the existing road

for all type of road users and suggest improvements.

  • May be thematic and may be prioritized
  • Inspect on road traffic environment and road user

behaviour and potential crash occurrence. Duration RSA duration is according to the road project schedule. It ends after 6 month of the road opening RSI is an on-going process, with roads being subject to re-inspection at regular intervals Cost and funds Absorb from project cost - Cost by stage of audit May be from operational / maintenance cost Involvement 1) Client, 2) Designer, 3) RS-Auditor 1) Client, 2) RS-Inspector Crash data May or may not use data on road crashes, but good to have as reference or weightage

ROAD SAFETY INSPECTION

WHY DO WE NEED RSI?

J.Treat et al, Tri-Level Study of the Causes of Traffic Accidents, 1979, Washington DC

In every third crash, the existing road environment has some considerable influence. The roads were designed and constructed some decades ago for less amount of traffic and a slower car fleet. With the Inspector expert knowledge and with systematic RSI approach, it is possible to reduce the number and the severity of traffic crashes the of existing roads. Due to technological developments and new technical standards, existing road equipment may become obsolete, its replacement being necessary. There is strong evidence that such inspections are highly cost-

  • effective. Saving of only one human life per year in an inspected

road section, the resulting benefit of the RSI would be much higher than the relevant cost.

THE WAY FORWARD FOR RSI IN MALAYSIA

ROAD SAFETY INSPECTION

WAY FORWARD FOR RSI

  • MIROS intends to make RSI as one of its operations; to

inspect the existing road safety level.

  • To ensure that RSI is recognized and widely accepted by

various parties, MIROS intends to be recognized by the Department of Standards Malaysia (JSM) as an accredited inspection body under the Malaysian Inspection Bodies Accreditation Scheme (MIBAS), scheme using the benchmarking of the PIARC.

  • MIBAS (MS ISO / IEC 17020 (ILAC P15: 07/2016) is a unified

national inspection body accreditation scheme and its scope of accreditation goes beyond multiple disciplines.

THE RSI PROCESS

Preparatory office work On Site Field Study RSI Report Follow up

21

  • The background information

about the road, the function of the road, the road standard and the traffic volumes should be obtained.

  • The crash data can also be

included if available.

  • All relevant guidelines and

regulations need to be available associated to the site.

  • Detailed maps or drawings or

video footage should be made available.

  • Measuring and surveying road geometry and

infrastructure

  • Observing road user exposure and risky

behavior

  • Speeding behavior among road users
  • Risky movement among road users
  • Red light running
  • Illegal movement
  • Dangerous maneuvers – weaving, lane

hogging, occupying shoulder

  • Serious conflict occurrence
  • Detecting Road infrastructure deficiencies
  • Via drive through observations
  • Via walk through observations
  • Follow up with road

authority on the remedial work.

  • Remedial action is not a

part of RSI itself. However, implementation of measures is an important issue to ensure the effectiveness

  • f the procedure.
