This paper serves as a discussion of four individual presentations made in the morning session of a Workshop on ITS Safety Evaluations, May 1 and 2, 1995, in Reston, VA. The original papers were as follows: "Overview and Methodologies of the ITS Safety Evaluation Process" by Alison Smiley; "Moving From Measures of Performance to Measures of Effectiveness in the Safety Evaluation of ITS Products or Demonstrations" by Thomas Dingus; "Systematic Evaluation of ITS/IVHS Safety Impacts" by Michael Van Aerde, and "DOT's Approach to ITS Safety Evaluations" by August Burgett. This discussion is in two parts. Firstly, an overall view of the process of ITS safety assessment is presented, synthesizing various aspects of the original papers into a global sketch. The contributions of each of the above authors to portions of this global view are cited in the discussion. In the second part, each of the four papers is briefly discussed in a manner that both summarizes prominent points of the original and includes my comments, as well. |
