| 摘要： | Traffic safety has been a major theme of the road research program of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) for more than 30 years. Their 1998-2000 program of work has three activity centers: sustainable multimodal transport strategies; economic performance, transport infrastructure, and management; and transport safety and environment. Within this framework, the Road Transport Research (RTR) Steering Committee created an expert group, composed of representatives from 14 countries, to examine the rural road safety problems in the OECD countries and to propose strategies to reduce deaths and injuries resulting from traffic crashes on these roads. To ensure clear communication and consistency in its report, the expert group chose to define rural roads as those roads that are both outside urban areas and are neither freeways nor unpaved roads. For short-term programs, it was recommended that every OECD country develop and implement a speed management program and a trauma management system. In the short- and medium-term programs, traditional infrastructure measures that emphasize investment in the quality of the rural road infrastructure must be chosen. Low-cost, effective, and efficient infrastructural measures--such as upgrading edge and center lines, installing reflective pavement markers and roadside delineation, providing advance warning, installing rumble strips, and facilitating safety knowledge transfer and training--that fit into existing road maintenance programs are recommended. Long-term programs should include intelligent transportation systems (ITS). The expert group also identified and recommended nearly 50 individual safety measures that can make a difference in improving rural road safety. |
