Training of Road Safety Auditors in Germany
According to the Directive 2008/96/EC of the European Parliament and Council: “Member States shall ensure that road safety audits are carried out for all infrastructure projects”. While the directive also lists certain criteria for training, the precise training curricula are given into the responsibility of the member states. As a result, the curricula and the organizations offering the training differ between the member states. While in some states, the responsible ministry organizes the training, others rely on private institutions or professional organizations. This contribution discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the German model of the training of Road Safety Auditors where the execution of training courses for auditors is carried out by a cooperation of German Universities. An expert committee at the Road and Transportation Research Association develops guidelines for the training curricula.
