COST-EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS AND HIGHWAY SAFETY

The research described established a framework for the development of a directly implementable highway safety program, suitable for application at the local, state, or federal level. Three cost-effectiveness techniques -- dynamic programming, integer programming, and incremental benefit-cost analysis with improved solution algorithm -- are recommended for optimally allocating highway safety funds.
