Book Severity Indices for Roadside Features

Download or read book Severity Indices for Roadside Features written by Daniel S. Turner and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 1994 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to highway administrators, safety officials, design engineers, traffic engineers, and analysts who are concerned with improving highway safety. Severity indices, which serve as indicators of the expected injury consequences of a crash, are an integral part of the analysis of proposed roadside safety improvements. Severity indices that have been developed by many states and research agencies are described, as are the issues associated with developing the values, and applying and evaluating the indices. The history of severity indices, the issues associated with estimating accident severity and associated costs, and the range of indices that have been developed are described. This publication of the Transportation Research Board also discusses the relationship of accident severity indices with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Roadside Design Guide and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) ROADSIDE computer program. While research since the 1960s has sought to quantify severity indices for a range of object types and impact conditions, there remains a wide variation in the values from which analysts may choose when performing cost effectiveness evaluations.

Book Assessment of Techniques for Cost effectiveness of Highway Accident Countermeasures

Download or read book Assessment of Techniques for Cost effectiveness of Highway Accident Countermeasures written by United States. Federal Highway Administration. Environmental Design and Control Division and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Improved cost-effectiveness techniques are developed for evaluating highway safety programs. These improved techniques include: better methods of determining accident costs; statistical procedures for calculating accident costs; consistent system for evaluating accident cost and countermeasure effectiveness; and improved incremental benefit-cost algorithm for ranking safety projects. In addition to developing improved cost-effectiveness techniques the report reviews selected accident countermeasure studies and provides a critique of current procedures for evaluating safety programs. Three techniques are recommended for use in allocating safety funds: incremental benefit-cost, with improved algorithm; dynamic programming; and integer programming.

Book Safety Research on Highway Infrastructure and Operations

Download or read book Safety Research on Highway Infrastructure and Operations written by National Research Council (U.S.). Committee on Research Priorities and Coordination in Highway Infrastructure and Operations Safety and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2008 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "TRB Special Report 292 ... recommends the creation of an independent scientific advisory committee (SAC). The SAC would be charged with development of a transparent process for identifying and prioritizing research needs and opportunities in highway safety, with emphasis on infrastructure and operations, and using the process developed to recommend a national research agenda focused on highway infrastructure and operations safety. The report also explores opportunities to improve the quality of highway safety research." -- publisher's website.
