Abstract

The Road Administration is one of the most important organizations in Iran, which is responsible for monitoring the safety and health of roads. One of the main issues that this organization faces is road accidents, which are one of the main causes of casualties and physical and financial damage in communities. In order to reduce accidents, the Road Administration has annual responsibilities. These functions, according to global standards, include increased monitoring of drivers, improved traffic systems, driving safety training and improved road infrastructure. This study first defined performance indicators and traffic safety and then analyzed its results. The analysis of the results of this study shows that despite the positive performance of the road organization and the decrease in the number of passengers, an upward trend is still observed in the number of accidents and fatalities in traffic accidents on suburban roads.
