& Program Development Framework
7th March 2019
Road safety database is the first step towards achieving scientific
road safety management.
Without systematic data collection and management, the
system’s performance evaluation and improvement is difficult.
An ideal Road Safety database needs to be comprehensive, to
meet the statistical requirements and to assist in planning
accident reduction measures.
To prepare and implement effective road safety improvement
plan, quality database of road safety related assets is
prerequisite, of which the lack of such infrastructure is major
contributor to accidents.
Currently the relevant asset details are managed in bits and
pieces with corresponding stake-holding departments.
The main objective of the project is to develop a
comprehensive Road Safety database meeting the
statistical requirements and assist in road safety
improvement project planning.
The RSDMS is planned to be GIS based stand-alone
cum web software system, which act as a database
server capable of GIS based analysis and reporting.
To coordinate data pooling from relevant
stakeholders and to develop an integration database
of road safety related infrastructure and facilities.
RSDMS programme should be capable of predicting
accident spot mitigation measures based on
International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP)
and/or Haddon’s Matrix suggestions, etc.
Any Road Safety influencing data is relevant
data for RSDMS, like;
Sl Data Type Main Data Secondary

Suggestions….
Currently the relevant asset details are
managed in bits and pieces with different
stakeholding departments. Data collaboration
will be required from:
◦ State Crime Record Bureau
◦ Public Work Department
◦ Motor Vehicle Department
◦ Police Department
◦ Health Department
◦ Education Department, etc

In Kerala overtime the SCRB is collecting road
accident data and managing them using
appropriate software.
GeoKAMS, RSMS, RAPID are various accident
database managing software used by SCRB,
of which RAPID is the latest software used.
RAPID mainly focus on collecting accident
data through Police Department.
Currently all accident related data fields are being filled from
the relevant police station reporting the accident. In reality the
accident related data source is spread across various
stakeholders, like
Road infrastructure related details is available with Public Works Department
or the custodian of the road,
Vehicle related details may be available with Motor Vehicle Department,
Trauma Care related details may be available with the Health Department, etc.
RSDMS may pool accident data from RAPID; which can then
bridge with multi-stakeholders to input & manage relevant
data regarding the accident.
Accident statistics forms the key retrospective assessment base
for road safety related projects and for implementing required
mitigations and interventions to reduce accidents.
Effective accident black spot improvement works cannot be
implemented without a reliable and powerful accident
database.
Suggestions….
As per Kerala PWD manual, it’s mentioned that
the PWD GIS has mapped all roads in Kerala State
including bridges, junctions, culverts and other
objects of interest; part of their Road Information
Management System (RIMS) program.
Which provides a complete and accurate map of
the road network in Kerala.
The Road Network and other road safety asset
details from PWD GIS maybe explored and
consider utilising the shape files to be used part
of our RSDMS.
GIS coded Road Network, PWD Office Jurisdictions
Road infra & geometric details – Width, Length,
Type, surfacing, condition, Bridge, Culvert, Major
junction type and its safety features, traffic sign,
road markings, street lighting, pedestrian
footpath & crossing facilities, hand-rails, bus
bay/ bus stop, on-street parking, crash cushion
and crash barriers, central median, bridges and
culvert details, details of hazardous objects,
obstacles, traffic calming measures, etc
Suggestions….
