Use of iRAP Method in Road Safety Inspection: Tokat-Turhal Highway Example

The Newell Highway Road Safety Review

The Newell Highway is the longest highway in NSW, stretching over 1,000 kilometres from the Victorian border to the Queensland border. It is a major freight route from Melbourne to Brisbane, as well as being popular with interstate travellers and tourists. This route was reviewed using a multi-disciplinary method developed by the NSW Centre for Road Safety based on Safe System principles. The r...

Considering undesirable variables in PCA-DEA method: a case of road safety evaluation in Iran

This paper presents a deterministic approach for performance assessment of different province’s road safety level at Iran. A data envelopment analysis (DEA) model considering undesirable input and output indices and a multivariate statistical method, principle component analysis (PCA) are used in this paper, while previous studies do not use composite PCA-DEA method and undesirable input and ou...

The Use of Expert Panels in Highway Safety: A Critique

Evaluating road safety and safety effects using Empirical Bayesian method

The safety evaluation of a given road is frequently based only on accidents happened during recent years. However, due to random variation and rareness of accidents, accident history provides an unreliable estimate of the expected number of accidents in the future. This is even more true regarding evaluation of fatalities. Consequently, if the current safety situation is inadequately evaluated,...

Multivariate Statistical Analysis Decision-making Hybrid Method for Road Traffic Safety Evaluation in Iran

Obviously, improving the road safety and the efficient allocation of limited resources to the provinces according to their ranking should be done. This paper presents a hybrid method of multivariate statistical analysis-decision making to evaluate Iran road traffic safety. In order to solve the problems of road traffic safety, a macroscopic evaluation and traffic safety level classification in ...
