Abstract

After 50 years of parallel development and growth, a comparison of safety statistics between U.S. public highways and the General Motors Proving Ground 200 km private road system shows: the Proving Ground has ± a 5 times lower accident rate, 7 time lower fatality rate, 35 times lower injury rate and almost 9 times lower property damage rate. Accident analysis and preventive countermeasures are discussed.
