TRL World-First Data Project to Reduce Road Crash Deaths
Groundbreaking initiative aims to inform better strategies to bring down the number of fatalities and serious injuries.
TRL is partnering with University Hospital Southampton to reduce road deaths by linking health records and road traffic collision data for the first time.
The partners have been awarded £500,000 in funding by the Department for Transport and the Road Safety Trust to launch a world-first initiative: the Data Sustains Life project.Over the next two years, this important project aims to anonymously integrate wide-ranging data insights, providing a holistic view of the causes and consequences of road crashes in Great Britain.
Road traffic collisions cause a troubling 30,000 deaths and serious injuries annually. It is estimated to cost Great Britain’s economy around £42 billion each year. The Data Sustains Life project aims to significantly reduce the tragic loss of life and serious harm.
Despite significant investments in road safety technologies and interventions, the toll of road crashes on British roads has shown little change in recent years. The project aims to tackle this persistent issue by exploring the relationship between road crashes and the resulting health outcomes, offering an unprecedented approach to improving road safety and coordinating the efforts of both the healthcare and transport sectors.
TRL’s Head of Transport Safety Dr Phil Martin said: “This project is a global first. By anonymously linking health data with road safety data, we can unlock new insights that will enable us to approach road safety with a fresh perspective. Our goal is to ensure that no more lives are unnecessarily lost on Britain’s roads.”
Data Sustains Life is a core part of a growing Pre-hospital Research and Audit Network (PRANA), led by Principal Investigator Dr Phil Hyde. It is linking data from ambulances, air ambulances, police, the Department for Transport, and coroners, as well as the many interactions flowing through hospitals. This includes emergency care, intensive care, trauma care and rehabilitation registries. PRANA is one of the first projects to use the Wessex Secure Data Environment (SDE), a new NHS platform, which aims to unlock the power of patient data to develop new treatments and improve NHS efficiency, effectiveness, and safety.
Dr Hyde is a paediatric intensive care consultant at University Hospital Southampton (UHS) and a pre-hospital critical care consultant with Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance.
He said: “The concept of linking these different data sources was thought to be impossible, but every idea has its time. Enabled by the Wessex Secure Data Environment, this project will allow UK researchers to identify patterns, risk factors, and critical points for intervention. The ultimate goal is to use these new data to inform better policies and strategies to bring down the number of fatalities and serious injuries.”
The Data Sustains Life project is set to run over the next two years and focus on the Dorset, Hampshire, and Thames Valley region. The process will be capable of being brought to scale in other regions and nationally with investment from statutory authorities. Findings are expected to inform both national road safety policies and global best practices. This could save countless lives and unlock substantial healthcare economic benefits in the future.
“The Data Sustains Life project represents a pivotal moment for road safety in the UK,” says DfT Chief Scientific Advisor, Professor Sarah Sharples. “By integrating healthcare and road safety data in ways never before achieved, this initiative provides a critical opportunity to unlock insights that could fundamentally change how we address road crashes and their devastating consequences. This innovative work is essential to driving the progress needed to save lives and create safer, future roads for everyone.”
Data Sustains Life is one of 11 pioneering projects to be awarded a share of £2.4 million by the Road Safety Trust.
Ruth Purdie OBE, Chief Executive of The Road Safety Trust, said: “These projects reflect our commitment to making UK roads safer for everyone. We are proud to support such a strong portfolio of work and are excited to see the life-changing impact the projects will have on road users across the UK.”
The PRANA programme has been supported by the UHS Research Leaders Programme, the University of Southampton Clinical Informatics Research Unit, Southampton Emerging Therapies and Technologies Centre, Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance, Dorset Police, Dorset Council, Dorset Police and Crime Commissioner and has benefitted from seed funding from Wessex Health Partners, the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Southampton Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) and the NIHR Wessex Experimental Medicine Network.

Senegal launches Ten-Step Plan for Safer Road Infrastructure
The Republic of Senegal officially launched “Senegal’s Ten-Step Plan for Safer Road Infrastructure” Project last Thursday in Dakar. The event, which brought together the main national and international road safety stakeholders, marks a strong commitment by the country to drastically reduce the number of crashes and deaths and injuries on its roads.
The implementation of the Ten Step Plan will be overseen by a Steering Committee comprised of key road safety organisations in Senegal. The Committee, whose inaugural meeting was held on January 22, on the eve of the Project Kick-off Workshop, will ensure effective coordination and monitoring of progress.
The three-year project is the result of collaboration between the Government of Senegal and national and international partners to strengthen institutional capacity and investments for safer roads in the country – with the aim of improving existing and future roads to achieve a three-star or higher safety standard for pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and vehicle occupants.
The Ten Step Senegal Project, funded by the United Nations Road Safety Fund (UNRSF), is a collaborative initiative involving the Government of Senegal through the Ministry of Infrastructure, Land, and Air Transport (MITTA) and National Road Agency ANASER, alongside a consortium led by the International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP) and including the International Road Federation (IRF), PIARC (World Road Association) and LASER International, with support from the Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG) and FIA Foundation.
The World Health Organization estimates that road crashes claim more than 3,500 lives every year in Senegal, and result in over 40,000 more injuries, with a national economic burden of US $1.4 billion. National data shows road crashes are the leading cause of death among young people aged 15 to 24, and the second leading cause among 25-39 year-olds, after AIDS.
Senegal is only the second country in the Africa to use the United Nations Road Safety Collaboration (UNRSC) Ten Steps approach, following its award-winning implementation in Tanzania. The Ten Step Plan framework has been produced by the United Nations Road Safety Collaboration (UNRSC) partners to support countries seeking to implement initiatives in relation to the “improved safety of road infrastructure and broader transport networks”, the UN Convention on Road Traffic and Road Signs and Signals, and the achievement of UN Member States agreed Global Targets 3 and 4 for safer new and existing roads.
“We are proud to see Senegal embracing the Ten Step approach which has proven to be so effective in instituting an evidence-based framework for action that saves lives,” commented Susanna Zammataro, Director General at the International Road Federation (IRF). “The sector has the tools to design and build safer roads, but these must be more widely known and implemented. It is about making meaningful decisions that will save thousands of lives,” she added.
