| 摘要： | The Transportation Research Board (TRB) Special Report 260, Strategic Highway Research: Saving Lives, Reducing Congestion, Improving Quality of Life, makes the case for a renewed safety initiative. Improvements in safety are not keeping up with increased travel. Even the steady decline in the rate of collisions per vehicle-mile-traveled has diminished in the past decade. While travel continues to increase, the expansion of highway miles and lanes has slowed so that traffic volume and congestion are increasing. Significant improvements are needed to advance safety under these changing conditions. Traffic safety has progressed as an iterative process. Basic research produces an improved understanding of the factors responsible for collisions and casualties and this information fuels development of new or improved countermeasures. |
