Project Objectives
DEVELOP CONCEPTUAL MODEL OF THE ROAD DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS SYSTEM FOR ACCIDENT PREVENTION PREPARED BY A MULTIDISCIPLINARY GROUP.
DEVELOP MODULES FOR THE ROAD DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS SYSTEM TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS.
PROVIDE TRAINING TO USE THE SYSTEM EXPANDED TO A BROAD GROUP OF PROFESSIONALS AND COUNTERMEASURES IMPLEMENTED ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
The project aims to prevent road traffic injuries and deaths on Brazilian federal highways through the development of an interoperable system for collecting and analyzing road data. This will allow for effective countermeasures to be implemented by Brazilian road authorities in charge of infrastructure and enforcement.
The Brazilian Federal Highway Police (PRF) and the National Department of Transport Infrastructure (DNIT) are the federal bodies responsible for road traffic enforcement, construction, maintenance, expansion, collecting statistical data, and preparing studies of traffic crashes and their causes.
While the PRF has over 12,000 agents acting on the country’s vast 75 thousand kilometres of federal roadways, DNIT would benefit from receiving key information on the road infrastructure and other environmental factors from trained PRF agents during their routine checks. However, the PRF lacks the necessary tools to collect, share and integrate data with DNIT to support informed interventions.
The project meets the national frameworks for road safety and is based on Brazil’s National Plan for the Reduction of Road Traffic Injury Prevention – PNATRANS, built upon the GlobalPlan for the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2021-2030 and run by one of the implementing partners (SENATRAN). It directly addresses SDG 3.6 as well as UN General Assembly resolution A/RES/74/299.
In the short term, the project will allow for the building of capacity among road safety personnel on Brazil’s highest national infrastructure and enforcement authorities on federal roads. and for the shared use of road traffic crashes related data, informing valuable of road safety countermeasures, especially on the infrastructure. In the medium and long term, the project will allow for the enhancement of the countermeasures identification system since the database will be improved.
Moreover, an important impact of this project is the integration of procedures and interchanges of DNIT and PRF, providing a concrete example of joint procedures for traffic management in the country at national and su
