Abstract

The highway safety engineer is continually faced with the trade- off between expenditures for highway safety improvements and reductions in highway fatalities, injuries, and property damage. Unfortunately many of these decisions must be made on the basis of estimates of the eventual outcomes of safety programs. There are at least four philosophical concepts that may be helpful in this type of decision making. A moral imperative, utilitarianism, intuitionism, and willingness to pay.
