Abstract
The Rural Road Safety Audit System (RSAS) Toolkit has recently been developed by Department of Rural Roads of Thailand. RSAS is an on-line decision-making tool designed for road safety practitioners to systematically conduct rural road safety improvement projects in Thailand. This paper presents the overview of the RSAS Toolkit. It helps identify hazardous locations on rural road networks using crash data and iRAP Star Rating model, determine safety deficiencies on road sections, and recommending possible short-term and long-term treatments. The RSAS Toolkit shall be a useful tool in preparing road safety improvement program funding applications for rural road projects.
