What is ‘CycleRAP’?

CycleRAP is an easy, affordable and fast method of evaluating road and bicycling infrastructure for safety. It aims to reduce crashes and improve safety specifically for bicyclists and other light mobility users by identifying high risk locations without the need for crash data.

Our Community

iRAP supports locally-led Road Assessment Programmes (RAPs), combining global iRAP tools with local knowledge and leadership to deliver evidence‑based solutions tailored to local road safety and governance contexts. RAPs are established through a free licence agreement between iRAP and a lead local partner.

What We Do

iRAP provides practical, datadriven tools that help decisionmakers understand risk and systematically improve road safety outcomes:

Risk Assessments

Using iRAP software, including ViDA, risk assessments can be performed for every type of road. The best-known assessments are Star Ratings, which measure the built‑in safety of roads and paths for vehicle occupants, motorcyclists, cyclists, and pedestrians, using internationally recognised Star Ratings where 0-star ratings indicate less safe roads, while 5‑star roads are the safest.

Policy, Capacity Building and Innovation

iRAP supports governments and organisations to embed safe system principles into policies, standards, and projects, and we build local capacity to sustain long‑term safety improvements. We also enable innovation with AI, data, digital tools, and rapid risk screening approaches.

Safer Roads Investment Planning

With ViDA, users can identify and prioritise high‑impact safety upgrades – such as safer intersections, median barriers, speed management, and pedestrian facilities – helping partners achieve the greatest reduction in deaths and serious injuries for every dollar invested.
