• Integrating accident, road condition, asset management and traffic volume data
• The effect of geometric road design standards on road safety
• Crash risk migration
• Crash reduction estimates for road safety treatments
• Development of crash rates for Australian roads
• Crash rates on local government roads – trial study
• Road safety and maintenance
• Road safety treatment life
• Estimating the safety benefits when using multiple road engineering treatments
• Automatic collection of safety related road and roadside data
