RSDH supports asset management engineers and road managers to embed crash reduction objectives directly into pavement and maintenance programs. We move beyond condition based approaches by identifying crash risk and prioritising renewal, rehabilitation and routine works where they deliver the greatest network wide safety benefit.
​
By integrating crash data analysis, network risk mapping and asset performance modelling, we develop safety weighted investment programs that reduce crash risk without increasing total expenditure. Every funding decision is structured to improve both asset performance and road user safety.
​
We also assist with integrating proactive crash risk metrics into existing Road Asset Management Systems and Pavement Management Systems, including dTIMS, SMEC AMS and RAMM. This ensures that roads with high potential risk, but low recorded crash histories, are appropriately prioritised.
​
Through this evidence based, data driven methodology, RSDH enables transparent, defensible and safety focused asset management decisions that optimise network performance and deliver improvements that reduce crash risk for road users, including heavy vehicles, vulnerable users, whilst also enabling full functionality of emerging technologies such as ADAS.
