About iRAP

The International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP) is a charity dedicated to saving lives through safer

roads.

iRAP works in partnership with government and non-government organisations to:

Inspect high-risk roads and develop Star Ratings and Safer Roads Investment Plans

Provide training, technology and support that will build and sustain national, regional and local capability

Track road safety performance so that funding agencies can assess the benefits of their investments.

Road Assessment Programmes (RAP) are now active in more than 70 countries throughout Europe, Asia

Pacific, North, Central and South America and Africa.

iRAP is financially supported by the FIA Foundation for the Automobile and Society. Projects receive support

from the World Bank Global Road Safety Facility, automobile associations, regional development banks and

donors.

National governments, automobile clubs and associations, charities, the motor industry and institutions such

as the European Commission also support RAPs in the developed world and encourage the transfer of

research and technology to iRAP. In addition, many individuals donate their time and expertise to support

iRAP.

1 Introduction

The following table lists the road attributes and categories required to create an iRAP Star Rating V3 upload

file for processing within ViDA (http://vida.irap.org) the Road Assessment Programme’s online analysis

software. Definitions of the categories are provided in the iRAP Star Rating Coding Manual (which will be

provided to suppliers preparing a submission on request).

The supplier should note that iRAP may make minor changes to these attributes as part of ongoing research

and development.
