Road Safety Observatory
Presented by: Duncan Vernon
Road Safety Manager (England)
Background
There are currently vast amounts of published road safety
evidence, from a wide range of sources, on a large variety of
topics. Whilst much of this evidence is publicly available, the
time burden of searching for this information can act as a
barrier to the use of the best evidence on road safety.
People new to road safety and other interested parties can find
the wealth of evidence confusing and daunting, which ultimately
can influence the success of road safety initiatives.
RoSPA’s Mission is to Save Lives and Reduce Injuries
Aims of the Project
On the 11 May 2011, the Department for Transport published the Strategic Framework for Road Safety. The Framework’s action plan set out the government’s commitment to improve access to road safety research by: Developing a Portal for Road Safety Professionals that’s independent
from Government and in accordance to the Big Society Principle This will signpost key information and repositories on road safety that
can be used by the professionals and public alike Launch date – 2012
Previously referred to as Better Use of Road Safety Evidence (BURSE)
Now known as Road Safety Observatory
RoSPA’s Mission is to Save Lives and Reduce Injuries
Aims of the Web Portal
The first point of call for all road safety professionals for information and guidance
To also be appropriate for other users - such as members of the public, students, Fire, Police, Health, officials etc
Provide summaries of the evidence on different road safety issues with references back to the original research
Compile the evidence used to write the summaries in a searchable database with detail about the methods and results
And therefore – provide robust information to support road safety practitioners in decision making and intervention planning

RoSPA’s role – constructing the website
Similar approach to RoSPA’s current portfolio of road safety
