Clearview Intelligence (CI) has launched two free to use Return on Investment (ROI) calculators to assist highway professionals in showing the benefit of improving road safety on their network. The tools are said to demonstrate how road safety schemes pay for themselves during their lifetime as well as quantify the number of lives saved and injuries prevented.

Designed for SolarLite Active Road Stud installations and the other for combination road safety solutions, the tools use the costs of accidents from the Department for Transport (DfT) associated with the value of preventing road casualties that are offset against a Clearview safety scheme. It includes key cost factors such as the road type and killed or seriously injured reduction targets; the basic cost components of the scheme and; a few details about the individual using the tool. In addition, the total ROI broken down into monetary savings and lives saved per annum are also considered.

Wayne Stant, marketing director of CI, said: “Clearview Intelligence are committed to improving the safety of all road users as part of our ambition to make journeys work. Our forty years’ experience of working with network managers has given us a keen understanding of the complexity of managing the road network. Justifying investment in road safety measures in these times has become ever more challenging. With the help of these free, user-friendly tools, road safety managers can quickly build a compelling case for road safety investment. Our Solutions Managers are experts in helping to create innovative solutions to these challenges and are on hand to work with you to develop these business case propositions.”

    According to road safety engineer Alan Vass of the Traffic and Road Safety section of Ayrshire Roads Alliance in Scotland, LED road studs have contributed to a 100 per cent reduction in incidents on a stretch of the A719 road in the county. Vass says the active studs, which use LED and solar technology to create delineation shown to be far more effective than traditional retro-reflective studs, could hold the key to a brighter future. He said: “There had been a number of accidents on the A719 near Wat

    There is some controversy over the testing of connected and autonomous vehicles – but Robert Deans of Transurban North America explains how managed lanes could be vital in the development of CAVs, benefiting everyone. Managed lane operators have the opportunity to establish themselves as leaders in the testing and roll-out of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs), assisting and accelerating the transition of CAVs onto road networks to deliver economic and safety benefits.

    When Barcelona imposed an 80km/h (50mph), the result was significant in environmental, accident, fatality and injury terms. The 80km/h speed limit had the same positive environmental effect as if 22,100 cars were eliminated from the roads in the metropolitan area. Moreover, a reduction in the consumption of fuel by more than 24,000 tonnes per year was also achieved, while accidents, fatalities and injuries also showed substantial improvement.

    Tolling organisation ASECAP has welcomed a European agreement which would force governments to take ‘systematic account’ of vulnerable road users (VRUs). But it warns that the industry must guard against any unintended consequences of the provisional agreement between the European Council and European Parliament, which is designed to strengthen road infrastructure management in a bid to reduce fatalities and serious injuries. The wording has yet to be endorsed by the Council and the relevant European Par
