Sweroad Academy

Overview

Since 1983, Sweroad has been at the forefront of road safety, infrastructure design, and traffic management worldwide. The Sweroad Road Safety Academy (SRA) is our center of excellence for capacity development, technical training, and applied innovation in road safety. Through tailored programmes that span all five UN Road Safety Pillars and the Safe System Approach, the Academy equips professionals, institutions, and decision-makers with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to design, operate, and manage safer road transport systems.

Key Academy Programmes

• Road Safety Management & Governance
  We strengthen institutions and leadership within the road transport sector, helping governments and agencies establish strategies, legislation, and coordination mechanisms that enable effective, data-driven road safety management.
• Safer Road Infrastructure & Design
  Our courses cover planning, design, auditing, and operation of safer road infrastructure. From blackspot management and speed management to roadside design and safety for vulnerable road users, we help practitioners translate international best practice into real-world projects.
• Vehicle & Fleet Safety
  The Academy provides training on vehicle safety standards, inspection systems, and fleet safety management. Participants learn how to implement and oversee programmes that ensure safer vehicles on the road, including commercial fleets and public transport.
• Road User Behaviour, Enforcement & Education
  We support authorities in designing and implementing evidence-based interventions that influence road user behaviour. This includes enforcement strategies, awareness campaigns, driver training, and education for high-risk groups such as children, young drivers, and professional drivers.
• Post-Crash Care & Emergency Response
  Our programmes help countries and institutions strengthen the full chain of post-crash response — from first responder training and emergency medical systems to hospital preparedness and rehabilitation frameworks — reducing the consequences of road traffic crashes.
• Data, Monitoring & Innovation
  The Academy builds capacity in road safety data systems, monitoring and evaluation, and the use of digital tools. We help participants collect, analyse, and use data to prioritise interventions, measure impact, and continuously improve performance.
