Abstract

A systems approach to evaluation of safety improvements is described. The initial stage of the process is the identification of problem locations within the road network. This stage attempts to reduce the size of the problem and to make it solvable within a reasonable cost. The next stage consists of suggestions for improvement and an evaluation of their cost-effectiveness. This second stage is based on the definition of three standard design levels. The allocation process is defined as a mathematical programming problem, which ensures the optimal solution.
