Network-Wide Road Safety Assessment in Germany - A Way Towards the Consideration of Proactive Indicators

Germany is currently using a crash-based procedure for network-wide road safety assessment. This reactive approach is described in the guideline «Recommendations for the Network Safety Management - ESN» from 2003. With the update of the EU-Directive on road infrastructure safety management (2019/1936) the German Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV) asked the Federal Highway Research Institute (BASt) to develop a new approach that additionally includes proactive indicators as well as considers the experiences from safety management practice in Germany.
