Évaluation économique des mesures de sécurité routière : rapport de la cent dix-septième Table Ronde d'Économie des Transports, tenue à Paris les 26 en 27 octobre 2000.

This report consists of introductory reports for Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Norway and Poland, and a summary of discussions. In economic appraisals of road safety measures, determining which method to use for valuation is critical. The human capital method and the willingness-to-pay method are compared and it is concluded that practical guides are needed for each method. It is suggested that governments should take control of safety for all transport modes and that improvements could be made in the use of safety budgets. In particular, changing driver behaviour is considered important. Economically efficient long-term safety measures are advocated. For abstracts of the papers see C 20551 - C 20558.
