TRL has developed the Speed Management Assessment Tool (SMAT) as part of a project funded by National Highways. The Speed Management Assessment Tool (SMAT) utilises iRAP road data and Star Ratings to identify where speed limits and …

This TRL Assessment Tool groups nine technology readiness levels (TRLs) into four broader technology development stages: Fundamental Research Research and Development Pilot and Demonstration Early Adoption The Tool provides a description of each TRL along with a checklist to determine if the technology is at that specific TRL.

iRAP is an infrastructure safety management system, a core pillar of a Safe Systems approach to road safety. Research shows that a person’s risk of death or serious injury is approximately halved for each incremental improvement in Star Rating.

Jun 9, 2020 · This project intends to verify the SMAT tool’s efficacy in LMICs and provide methodologies for the evaluation and management of speed to be simply embedded into countries’ road safety operations. iRAP Star Rating has been applied to over 1.5 million kilometres of road to date, many of this in LMICs.

2012 iRAP report – Development of Risk Models for RAP This paper, written by David Lynam (TRL), is a retrospective on the development of the RAP models and, in particular, the original ‘Version 1.0’ model.
