Samenvatting
This paper describes a new tool that allows for comparisons of passenger travel risks and risk tradeoffs. This tool, TrafficSTATS, is a publicly-available, interactive, web-based query tool that provides estimates of passenger vehicle and other traffic safety risks. Using "cube" database technology, TrafficSTATS houses publicly-available government data on traffic fatalities from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System and personal travel behaviour from the National Household Travel Survey. TrafficSTATS can calculate risk statistics in real time for user-specified queries. Examples of the types of comparisons that can be made are highlighted.
