      <title>International review of road collision investigation approaches</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1767302</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The purpose of this study is to identify international road collision investigation functions and formats with relevant application to the UK context. The objectives are to select, describe and summarise the road collision investigation functions of several countries; to compare and categorise differences; and to recommend elements that are considered to be of potential relevance to the UK context and warrant further in-depth review by RCIP through qualitative interviews. The study was primarily conducted as a desk-based literature review but, through the international contacts of the Project Advisory Panel, further information relating to a number of organisations responsible for road traffic collision investigation has been obtained, and key points that may be of particular interest with regard to possible application for potential UK developments in this area have been identified. It is envisaged that, following the completion of this study report, the RCIP team may wish to follow-up with identified contacts and elements that are of interest to the UK by conducting in-depth, qualitative interviews.]]></description>

      <title>Recent research on safe roads and infrastructure</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1371394</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Safe roads and infrastructure are key factors in the likelihood and severity outcome of road crashes. Although the vast majority of crashes are as a result of some form of human error, or of human error in combination with the road and/or the vehicle, we also know that the greatest determinant of crash severity will be the infrastructure that is provided. As an example, Stigson et al. reviewed fatal crashes based on in-depth crash investigation, with crashes categorised based on factors that contributed to the crash outcome (as opposed to crash causation). Their study found that there were strong interactions between the different pillars of the &lsquo;system&rsquo; (road user, road and vehicle), but also that the road and roadside were the most strongly linked to fatal crash outcomes. Further evidence for the importance of infrastructure comes from evaluations of safety treatment effectiveness. Individual infrastructure treatments, or treatments used in combination can significantly reduce death and serious injury. The most recent BITRE evaluation of the federal blackspot funding program showed that benefits from targeted infrastructure treatments outweighed the costs by a factor of 8 to 1. As an example, well designed  roundabouts are able to virtually eliminate deaths at intersections (by up to 80%. When joined with benefits from other Safe System pillars (including vehicle improvements, speed  management and improvement in road user behaviour) the combined benefits will be greatest.]]></description>

      <title>Automated pavement distress survey: a review and a new direction</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1211035</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Pavement condition survey normally includes surface distresses, such as cracking, rutting, and other surface defects. Broadly, pavement roughness is also included as a condition survey item in some literature. This paper reviews past research efforts in this area conducted at several institutions, including the automated survey system of pavement surface cracking at the University of Arkansas. The paper also proposes a new direction of technology development through the use of stereovision technology for the comprehensive survey of pavement condition in its broad definition. The goal is to develop a working system that is able to establish three-dimensional (3D) surface model of pavements for the entire pavement lane-width at 1 to 2-millimeter resolution so that comprehensive condition information can be extracted from the 3D model.]]></description>

      <title>The road research programme of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1210097</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This paper represents an address to the joint meeting of the Australian Road Research Board and the Institution of Engineers, Australia held on 24 August 1976.  Increased economic and political influences on governmental decisions about highway infrastructures, traffic and safety, and their impact on international passenger and freight movement, led to the creation of the OECD road research programme in 1968.  There was, and is, an evident need to ensure the rational use of scarce national highway research resources, to promote and strengthen highway research programmes in member countries, and to develop and systemise the exchange of highway research documentation.  The OECD road research programme provides a scientific and technical basis for governmental decision making on urgent highway transportation problems.  The programme operates within a three year renewable mandate which permits it to be responsive to continuing development in highway research and practice.]]></description>

      <title>The development of road research in South Africa</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1209142</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The paper first outlines the South African road scene - the organization of roads, financing, geological factors - to give a background against which to set the problems that have arisen and the growth of the road research organization within the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, the CSIR.  The paper then describes the successive stages in the development of the research effort and refers, in the South African context, to some of the problems that arose in the early stages in convincing engineers of the need for such research.  The major road research problems themselves are then discussed to indicate their inter relatedness and the institute's present programme of research is briefly outlined.  The remainder of the paper deals with some of the basic principles of road research and lays particular emphasis on the role of the full scale road experiment.  Principles of design of such experiments are discussed in some detail.  Finally, the problem of applying research findings in practice is dealt with and the concept of joint responsibility for research on the part of both the research group and the roads authorities is stressed (A).]]></description>
