Surrogate Safety Measures from Traffic Simulation: Validation of Safety Indicators with Intersection Traffic Crash Data

Economic Evaluation of Road Traffic Safety Measures

The economic appraisal of road safety measures poses the basic problem of determining which method to use for the valuation of road safety measures. Given that road safety or, to be more precise, lack of road safety is measured in terms of the total number of fatalities and injuries, either slight or severe, the economic calculation can be based on the value of human life and the estimated cost...

EFFECTS OF ROAD TRAFFIC SAFETY MEASURES: A PRESENTATION OF THE TRAFFIC SAFETY HANDBOOK by

The third edition of the Norwegian Traffic Safety Handbook, was issued in 1997 (Elvik, Borger Mysen, Vaa 1997). The book gives a presentation of 124 road safety measures and covers measures in the following areas: 1. General purpose policy instruments (14 measures in total) 2. Road design and road furniture (20 measures) 3. Road maintenance (9 measures) 4. Traffic regulation (21 measures) 5. Ve...

Data Mining to Improve Traffic Safety

The ever increasing size of datasets used for data mining and machine learning applications has placed a renewed emphasis on algorithm performance and processing strategies. This research addresses algorithms for ranking variables in a dataset, as well as for ranking values of a specific variable. We propose two new techniques, called Max Gain (MG) and Sum Max Gain Ratio (SMGR), which are well-...
