This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decisions twenty years ago during the fIrst generation of modern traffIc safety policymaking were easier than today. Afterall, the mandate for specifIc mandatory motor vehicle safety standards was dermed rather clearly during legislative hearings. Since the initial standards, decisions have been based on the more general guidelines of "practicality" and avoiding "unreasonable risks. " Now, with more diffIcult decisions pending, the demand for analysis is greater. My purpose in writing this book is to promote second generation policymaking in traffic safety. The dominant theme is that an "individual net benefIt approach" is useful in the design, evaluation and improvement of traffic safety policy. Hopefully, this book provides some guidance for today's tougher decisions. Evaluative review of modern traffic safety policy, especially automobile safety standards, yields several results. The technological approach, the basis for the 1966 legislation, is shown to produce mistakes. Benefits are overestimated and endangerment of nonoccupants is ignored. The risk homeostatic approach, the devil's idea to some in the safety community, is shown to be a limiting case of the more general individual net benefIt approach. Rationality and competency in travelers' safety decisions are reviewed in a broad context. Evidence beyond the realm of behavioral ix x The Regulation of Motor Vehicle and Traffic Safety psychology indicates considerable, albeit imperfect, competency in traffic safety decisions. Conventional benefit-cost analysis is critiqued. Existing studies of passive restraints are shown to overestimate net benefits because travelers' responses and costs are ignored.

Download or read book Safety Report written by United States. National Transportation Safety Board and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over a 12-year period, the Safety Board has identified and recommended corrective measures for the many unsafe conditions it has identified in the shipment of hazardous materials, but too often, action necessary to remedy the identified problems has been delayed -- sometimes for years. Delayed correction of identified safety problems perpetuates substantial losses, both economic and personal, to shippers, carriers, employees of the transportation mode, emergency response personnel, and the public. The Safety Board reviewed hazardous materials legislation and regulations promulgated by the Federal government, analyzed the DOT hazardous materials safety programs, and reviewed Safety Board reports on hazardous materials accidents and its recommendations for corrective actions. This report identifies reasons for past delays in implementing corrective safety improvements by DOT and identifies changes needed in DOT's management of the hazardous materials transportation program to bring about more timely correction of identified safety hazards which is essential for reducing losses in life, injury, and property damage.
