PLANNING FOR CONCENTRATED IMPLEMENTATION OF HIGHWAY SAFETY COUNTERMEASURES-VOLUME 2: PROGRAM PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS

AT PRESENT THERE IS A RECOGNIZED NEED TO IMPROVE THE BASIS ON WHICH RESOURCE COMMITTMENTS TO HIGHWAY SAFETY ACTIVITIES WILL BE MADE IN FUTURE YEARS. THE GOAL OF THE PRESENT STUDY IS TO FORMULATE DETAILED PLANS FOR EXPERIMENTAL PROGRAMS THAT WILL DETERMINE THE IMPACT OF SELECTED SAFETY COUNTERMEASURES. THIS REPORT CONTAINS A CONSIDERATION OF THE FACTORS THAT WE HAVE FOUND TO BE IMPORTANT IN THE DESIGN OF SUCH PROGRAMS. FROM A DISCUSSION OF THE GENERAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SYSTEM, SIX PROGRAM AREAS ARE DEFINED. FOR EACH PROGRAM CATEGORY, THERE IS A DISCUSSION OF PROGRAM GOALS, APPLICABLE COUNTERMEASURES, MEASURES OF EFFECTIVENESS, AND DATA REQUIREMENTS. CONSIDERATIONS INVOLVED IN THE CHOICE OF A SUITABLE SITE FOR EACH PROGRAM ARE ALSO STRESSED. /AUTHOR/
