AN ADVANCED COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR ROAD SAFETY ANALYSIS

The use of Geographic Information Systems for road safety analysis is discussed, in particular their use for a) better identifying mistakes in police injury accident records, b) improving the selection of routes and areas suitable for remedial treatment, c) identifying the number of accidents outside schools and analysing routes to and from school and d) estimating casualty risk based on home location. Details are given of the data used and the results obtained. It is suggested that the technique will lead to a more accurate and efficient selection of engineering measures and road safety campaigns.
