SELECTING STRATEGIC WINNERS FOR EFFECTIVE ROAD SAFETY PROJECTS

Many solutions have been proposed to the Cdn$60 billion Canadian road safety problem. The difficulty is to select from competing programs those that simultaneously maximize both the probability of successful implementation and cost-effectiveness. Problems arise because of the uncertainties associated with forecasting performance. This paper outlines a strategic planning level model to maximize both implementation success and cost-effectiveness as well as account for the uncertainty in such decisions.
