Abstract

Road traffic crashes remain a major concern worldwide. They are considered by the World Health Organization as one of the leading causes of death worldwide. To address this road insecurity, many countries are developing national strategies and trying to put in place the necessary action plans for their implementation. At this stage, monitoring of performance is crucial to ensure the efficacy of these road safety systems. The primary objective of this study is to examine the state-of-the-art practices employed in researches for managing road safety systems, specifically performance monitoring, and present the results in an engaging and informative manner. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature, the study seeks to identify essential components to help policymakers develop and monitor the performance of their road safety systems. The findings of this study can serve as a foundation for decision-makers in their efforts to develop and manage effective road safety systems.
