The Land Transport Safety Authority (LTSA), Transit New Zealand and Local Authorities are partners in the Joint Crash Investigation Programme in New Zealand. The programme, which was set up in 1985, identifies sites for treatment based on the crash history at each site and recommends low cost engineering treatments aimed at reducing those crashes. The LTSA's Crash Analysis System enables details of crash investigation sites to be matched to crashes occurring at those sites before and after treatment. This paper discusses techniques which make use of these data to evaluate aspects of the Crash Investigation Programme, and presents selected results.
