A framework for cost-benefit analysis of the Dutch Road Safety Plan

Contains a framework for cost-benefit analysis of the Dutch Road safety Plan. The framework cosists of the following elements: (1) A short discussion of the implications for road safety policy of the Dutch concept of sustainable safety ; (2) A discussion of formal techniques for priority setting, the kinds of information required to use these techniques and their limitations ; (3) A survey of potentially effective road safety measures and the screening of these measures for inclusion in formal analysis of cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit ratio ; (4) A critical examination of current Dutch road accident costs and a preliminary revision of these costs ; (5) A summary of evidence concerning the safety effects of road safety measures subjected to analyses of their cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit ratios ; (6) Preliminary estimates of the cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit at ratio at different levels of applications of different measures and their benefit-cost.
