Evaluating interventions to prevent serious road traffic crashes

Ongoing

The overarching objective of this project is to provide a system-wide review of serious road traffic injury in Victoria. This project will identify emerging issues in road safety and evaluate existing and novel countermeasures to road traffic crashes that result in serious injury or death.

To achieve these aims, a novel data system will be established by linking data from the world-leading Victorian State Trauma Registry (VSTR), with detailed crash information from the Victorian Department of Transport, the Transport Accident Commission (TAC), Victoria Police, and Ambulance Victoria.

This project is funded through Associate Professor Ben Beck’s Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) Fellowship (DE180100825).
