DECISION ANALYSIS FOR INCREASED HIGHWAY SAFETY

A DECISION ANALYSIS MODEL WAS DEVELOPED TO HELP TRAFFIC ENGINEERS INCREASE THE BENEFIT OBTAINED FROM HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT SPENDING. AS AN ILLUSTRATION OF THE WIDE APPLICABILITY OF DECISION ANALYSIS, A MORE EFFECTIVE METHOD OF ALLOCATING HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT FUNDS IS PRESENTED. CONSIDERING THE LIMITED FUNDS AVAILABLE AND THE VAST NUMBER OF DANGEROUS HIGHWAY LOCATIONS, IT IS IMPORTANT TO BRING A MORE RIGOROUS SYSTEM TO BEAR ON FUND ALLOCATION. /SRIS/
