Publisher's Synopsis
The papers included in this publication focus on the current state-of-the-art of highway safety and the civil engineer's role in confronting and solving highway safety problems. Critical issues of highway safety are identified by: identifying the best and most successful highway safety programs currently being implemented; indicating the available resources and identifying the related organizations providing program management; and providing information regarding the latest technological developments. The complexities of highway traffic accidents are explored and engineering solutions sought. The six main areas covered are: the new federation - its impact on highway safety; the engineered factors in highway safety; the engineer as an expert witness; making safety work; safer roads - an effective investment; and the responsibility of the civil engineer in highway safety.
