In its draft stage, RAPSA offers a framework for engineers to estimate accident rates and assess benefit-to- cost ratios related to Road Restraint Systems (RRS). Emphasizing the importance of expert judgment, RAPSA underscores the significance of enhancing restraint systems to safeguard road users. By providing engineers with data-driven insights, RAPSA facilitates informed decision-making, ensuring the optimal selection and implementation of RRS for enhanced safety and cost efficiency on South African roads. The model was used to assess a section of the Nation Route 10 – Olifantskop Pass.1 pagePDFenSouthern African Transport Conference 2024Risk Assessment Procedure for South Africa (RAPSA)Netsafe Accident Prediction ModelSouth African Road Restraint Systems Manual (SARRSM)Article
