Abstract: The Australian National Risk Assessment Model (ANRAM) helps road agencies identify fatal and serious injury (severe) crash risk across all parts of the road network. ANRAM helps road agencies manage this risk through development of treatment programs aimed at reducing fatal and serious injury crashes. This report documents the development of ANRAM. ANRAM provides a mechanism for the identification, measurement and reporting of fatal and serious injury crash risk based on road infrastructure, speed and traffic flow, and on fatal and serious crash history. It then enables scoping and prioritising of proactive investment options to address the highest risk road sections on the Australian road network. Guidance is also provided for implementation of ANRAM by jurisdictions at strategic and practical levels. The ANRAM system provides road agencies in Australia with a tool to implement a nationally consistent risk-based road assessment program to support the objectives of both SCOTI and the National Road Safety Strategy. It allows jurisdictions to prioritise and develop targeted safety upgrade works for high-risk road sections, which reflect their local conditions and resources.
