摘要: As in many professions, the field of road safety can benefit from the power and storage capabilities of computers. They can turn complex decision making processes into simplified, user friendly procedures, and their storage capacity for data including text, images and video clips, can assist road safety practitioners in many ways. Lap-tops have also enabled the computer to move on-site rather than be tied to the office. These benefits means more people can access the same information wherever they are, and obtain consistent and accurate results. The following computerised road safety products have been developed in Australia by ARRB Transport Research: i) The Limits series of programs incorporates the complex decision making processes that road authorities use to calculate speed limits. It takes into account land uses, accesses, road characteristics and other factors required to calculate speed limits; ii) EASy Audit, developed for the NSW RTA, links their road safety auditing checklists (similar to the Austroads checklists) with the references required for road safety auditing. Comments are stored with checklist question, and a standard reports can be printed when required; and iii) An Australian Road Safety Audit Advisory System is currently being developed. Based on EASy Audit, this expert system will broaden its applicability to the whole of Australia.
