Championing road safety Road safety at Transurban is based on the Safe System approach, that recognises road safety is a shared responsibility.
Figure 4: Most common crashes on our roads 1
Crashes are rare on our roads but when they happen, they are usually one of three crash types:
1 S ample data taken from across our Australian and North American assets in FY24 2 F Y21 VKTs changed slightly following assurance on vehicle kilometres travelled. This did not impact the overall reported RICI for FY21 Merging/side swipe Associated with late decision making, low awareness of truck blind spots, and merging with on-road traffic 22% of crashes Rear-end Associated with congestion, tail gating and driver distraction 40% of crashes Loss of control Associated with speed, fatigue and distraction, and usually single vehicle 31% of crashes
This approach considers the individuals and businesses using roads; the vehicles they drive; and those who build and manage roads and road networks. This approach also aligns with the World Health Organization’s Global Road Safety Performance Targets and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. We champion road safety by: • implementing targeted and evidence-led safety initiatives • using proven and innovative technology to reduce incident risk • providing 24-7 monitoring and incident- response services • supporting and conducting ongoing research into diverse road safety issues • delivering tailored community education programs. Our Health, Safety, Environment and Road Safety Plan 2024–2026 continues to support our long-term vision of zero life changing injuries for our employees, contractors and customers. It also reflects our focus on emerging issues, such as improving how we use analytics to address common crash types
and emerging trends, and using our HSE management platform (Enablon) insights to address work zone safety issues. In FY24, we developed a platform that harmonises Transurban’s crash data across markets and integrates additional data from internal sources (such as traffic data), and external sources (such as Compass IoT connected vehicle data and weather conditions). This detailed data is helping us better understand crashes and address risk factors and inform interventions to prevent crashes occurring.
