TRL has won a two-year contract with the Governor’s office of Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, to develop and implement a road crash data management system. 

Mongolia lies between Russia and China and, according to the World Health Organisation, the country's mortality rate from road traffic crashes is 12 per 100,000 inhabitants (WHO 2023) - more than twice the European average of five road deaths per 100,000.

WHO says road crashes represent one of the main causes of death in Mongolia, especially among young men.

In Ulaanbaatar, home to 1.6 million people, TRL will work with the traffic police department to establish an integrated road crash data management system. 

TRL says its road crash analysis software will enable the collection, analysis and sharing of road crash and safety performance data among various agencies: "By providing access to accurate and timely data, the project aims to facilitate evidence-based decision-making for interventions designed to reduce the number of deaths and injuries on the roads."

TRL CEO Paul Campion says: "Our goal is to provide the tools necessary for the traffic police and other stakeholders to make informed decisions that will save lives and enhance road safety across the region.”

The software may be rolled out across Mongolia, TRL says.

    Japan will not only host this year’s ITS World Congress but has been selected for the 2020 Olympics. So what can Japan, and indeed Brazil, learn from the traffic management for London 2012 - Geoff Hadwick finds out. It was a key moment when Olympic boss Jacques Rogge signed off London 2012, calling the Games “happy and glorious.” Scarred by the logistical disaster of Atlanta 1996 and the last-minute building panic for Athens 2008, Rogge clearly thought London 2012 was an object lesson in how to plan and

  • Ramp metering delivers - again

    Though still controversial, ramp metering, which has been around for nearly 50 years, continues to deliver substantial benefits, and generally for relatively small cost. Kansas City is a case in point. In March 2010, Kansas City Scout, a partnership between the Missouri and Kansas Departments of Transportation to provide ITS for the greater Kansas City Area, activated the first ramp metering system in the region. The project is located on an 8.85km (5.5 mile) section of Interstate 435 from Metcalf Avenue to
