Tools for Assessing the Safety Impact of Interventions on Road Safety

Abstract

This paper is the result of a PhD in Transport Infrastructure, realized at CTL, aimed to investigate issues related to the evaluation of interventions producing changes in traffic configuration and to develop an information system (Road safety Impact Assessment - RIA Module) to be integrated in an existing Decision Support System on road safety. The research created a library of SPF and developed an information system, called "RIA Module", updating the existing "DSS - ISIDE", developed by CTL. (C) 2012 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
