Road Infrastructure Safety Management ('RISM')
The EU Directive on Road Infrastructure Safety Management (EU RISM) was transposed into Irish Law through S.I No. 472 of 2011. EU RISM provides a system for managing the safety of the national road network. Much of the work of the TII Safety Section involves the implementation of EU RISM requirements
TII Safety Training
TII, in collaboration with ATU Sligo, has developed an educational programme in Road Safety Auditing and Engineering. This programme meets the academic requirements with the EU Road Infrastructure Safety Management Directive. Learn more about this initiative and explore additional training materials.
Urban Renewal
Learn how we improve road safety in towns and villages through traffic calming and design enhancements.
TII Safety Research
In addition to ongoing internal research, TII Safety actively participates in transnational road safety research programmes. Collaboration with road authorities and road safety research groups outside of Ireland allows for a transfer of knowledge, experience and ideas that are beneficial to the work of TII Safety and the wider strategic objectives of the organisation.
