AusRAP
AusRAP is the Australian implementation of the international Road Assessment Programme (iRAP) star-rating system. It rates the in-built safety of road infrastructure for vehicle occupants, motorcyclists, pedestrians, and cyclists based on coded attributes captured during a road survey. AusRAP star ratings give a transparent, internationally benchmarked view of how forgiving a road is. A 5-star rated road is engineered to protect users when human error occurs.
In practice, AusRAP guides you through a structured, repeatable assessment so options can be compared and prioritised consistently.

Use AusRAP when you need to:
Use AusRAP when you need to communicate network safety performance to non-technical audiences, set jurisdiction-level star-rating targets, identify corridors that fall below acceptable star-rating thresholds, or compare treatment options on a like-for-like basis. AusRAP outputs are increasingly being adopted in national reporting frameworks and align with the National Road Safety Strategy 2021-2030 targets.
The tool is delivered as a web application. Typical workflow:
Survey the road using an in-vehicle camera-based survey, drone, or manual inspection. Code attributes against the AusRAP and iRAP attribute set, run the AusRAP model to generate star ratings and a corresponding treatment-recommendation list, and use the outputs in your jurisdictional reporting and capital-program prioritisation.
