This study describes the establishment of a PC based Geographic Information System (GIS) database developed to deal with road safety analysis, safety management and the evaluation of safety improvements. The study deals with these phases: establishment of detailed databases containing information on accidents, traffic flow characteristics, selected road-physical data, digitized locations of the road network; integration of databases into a GIS; definition and development of GIS based applications to road safety and management; and design and development of a user interface in the use of the GIS accident database system developed. The system as developed was demonstrated on the Hadar area: the central business district of Haifa.
