Descriptions of the Measures
Safety Technical Output 6 - Intersections
The number of reported serious injuries and fatalities (DSI) at intersections each year on the network
The aim of this measure is looking for a reducing trend in the number of serious and fatal injuries due to loss of driver control at intersections.
The injuries data comes from the Crash table of reported crashes which is being filtered by Intersections.
The classifications come from the Road Section table and One Network Road Classification (ONRC) Category table.
Crashes are allocated to road section(s) based on the location of the crash. If a crash is located at the start of one road section and the end of another road section, it will be allocated to the section of road section which starts where the crash is located.
The data is grouped by financial years beginning 1 July. Financial years are considered complete after details of a Crash are imported into the Performance Measures Reporting Tool for the following financial year.
The comparative trend graph expresses the intersections trend as a percentage of the average crash rate for the previous five financial years, ignoring the current incomplete year. This creates a trend value that is based on the change in crash rate relative to the size of the network (average crash rate). We use this figure to allow comparison between large and small networks. This trend is shown calculated for your network, Peer Group , Region and the Nation . Negative values, shown in green, indicating a decreasing or improving trend. Positive values, shown in red, indicate an increasing or worsening trend.
If there is data for the next financial year, then this Financial Year is considered complete.
