摘要: |
The FHWA identified safety as one of its Vital Few goals. As a means of focusing its safety efforts, FHWA's strategic goal is to reduce the number of highway-related fatalities and injuries by 20% by 2008. Additionally, FHWA also aims to reduce intersection fatalities 10% by 2007. To this end, FHWA and number of other highway organizations are orchestrating a variety of innovative activities and research initiatives. This article provides an overview of these efforts, from informational guidebooks to research programs and international scans, design of smarter roundabouts and signalized intersections, reduced red light running, and other cutting-edge research to increase the safety of U.S. automobile travel. |
