Highlights Develop an easy-to-adapt model for benchmarking road safety development at the regional level. Report road safety development across the OECD member countries over the past decade. Provide the OECD with a step-by-step paradigm to strengthen the capacity for sustainable safety management. Support policymakers in charting informed future strategic directions and policy reforms for road safety improvement. Encourage governments with the increased political will to create a road transport system that maximizes safety.
Abstract Benchmarking performance, monitoring progress and then recalibrating interventions is widely recognized as a valuable process for achieving continuous improvement in road safety. In this study, a systematic and effective methodology, IV-VIKOR with FNBC, is developed to perform the benchmarking of road safety development in an integrative manner for OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries. Linking to other methods and measures as the references, 36 OECD Member countries are ranked and grouped into several classes based on their overall achievement regarding road safety from the past decade (2009–2018). This provides government officials and policymakers, across the OECD Member countries, with a flexible tool to comprehensively benchmark road safety development. Providing the ability to identify delays in action plan implementations and proactively redistribute resources toward more effective measures where required. Such a tool can also serve to increase political will and stakeholder accountabilities, at the highest level of government and the private sector for all OECD members: Thereby keeping the implementation of action plans on schedule. It helps OECD Member countries to establish the capacity for sustainable safety management; supporting them in developing future strategies and reforms to create better policies for better lives.
