Safe System Treatment Selection Tool

The Safe System Treatment Selection Tool (SSTST) helps practitioners select evidence-based treatments that are aligned with Safe System principles. It ranks interventions by expected crash-reduction and Safe System outcome for a given road context.

The Safe System Treatment Selection Tool (SSTST) helps practitioners select evidence-based treatments that are aligned with Safe System principles. It ranks interventions by expected crash-reduction and Safe System outcome for a given road context.

  • Road safety engineers and practitioners
  • Asset managers prioritising investment
  • Designers assessing proposed treatments
  • Auditors validating Safe System alignment

Provides evidence-based scoring and ranking to support treatment selection, investment prioritisation, and network-wide decision-making.

Use SSTST when you need to:

Identify appropriate treatments for a specific road segment or crash pattern; compare treatment cost-effectiveness; build evidence-based cases for infrastructure investment; demonstrate Safe System alignment in project scoping.

The tool is delivered as a web application. Typical workflow:

Enter road context (type, speed environment, user mix); select crash types of concern; review ranked treatment options with Safe System scores; export to treatment registers or business cases.
