Produktinformationen zu „Road Safety Planning “
In 2004 the World Health Organization declared the incidence of fatalities
and injuries due to road collisions as one of the leading epidemics of our
time. The United Nations have made a similar declaration for 2007. This
book reviews the traditional engineering responses of governments to this
road safety problem, including analytical techniques, effectiveness, and shortcomings
of the conventional reactive approach. It then describes how to
overcome the knowledge gap to a more proactive engineering approach to
road safety, including the methodology, development, and use of a new
family of reliable empirical tools to do road safety planning, termed macrolevel
collision prediction models. Several case studies are given, demonstrating
that this proactive road safety approach can reap significant sustainability
benefits. This book is addressed to professionals and sustainability
advocates seeking more sustainable land use and transportation development
patterns, like planners, engineers, governments, residents, educators, journalists
and Communications Managers. It is also directed towards scientists
and researchers in Road Safety, Sustainability, Planning and Engineering.
