Abstract

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 costs and countermeasure effectiveness; and improved incremental benefit-cost algorithm for ranking safety projects. Three techniques are recommended for use in allocating safety funds: incremental benefit-costs, with improved algorithm, dynamic programming, and integer programming.
