APPROACHES FOR ROAD SAFETY IMPROVEMENT EVALUATION

Abstract

The consequence of increasing population and increasing number of traffic volume, road safety improvement is becoming a major policy for the road authorities. Road accidents create both social and economic cost on the country’s economy. When this is taken into consideration, the optimizing solution would not be the best countermeasure application. It is therefore important to display different solution alternatives considering the budget limitations of the road authorities. So while maximizing the road safety, the economical evaluation always plays an important role. In other words the effectiveness of different solution alternatives has to be questioned. The objective of this work is to study the selection procedure of road countermeasures and compare the improvement alternatives according to their cost-effectiveness on the selected rural roads in Turkey. For this purpose, a web-based tool, Best Practice Safety Information Expert System (SEROES), and a computer based tool, Decision Support Safety Tool (DST) are used. The best Practice Safety Information Expert System is used to select an appropriate measure for the road safety problem; on the other hand, Decision Support Tool is used to implement the cost effectiveness analysis regarding the accident reduction effect of the measures and their cost.
