Abstract

The perceptions of experts and drivers about issues related to roadway safety are often contrasting, so it is important to take into account the opinion of these two groups in the assessment of road safety. With the purpose of identifying the gap between these groups' opinions, this project investigated the perceptions of Brazilian drivers with regards to the features evaluated in the Proactive evaluation method of road Safety, PITIS. This method was originally developed based on the perspective of road safety professionals. The comparison between the opinions of these two groups showed no significant difference between the opinions of drivers and those of Brazilian road safety professionals, although there is a difference in the order of importance assigned to the features examined. For the covering abstract see ITRD E137120.
