Truck Accident Countermeasures for Urban Freeways

摘要

Of the 11 countermeasures discussed, there was evidence of accident reduction in ramp treatments, tall barriers and increased enforcement. Other countermeasures considered to be of critical importance include incident response and clearance and urban inspection stations. Information on the actual rather than perceived effectiveness of the countermeasure, and the cost-effectiveness and transferability of countermeasures to different circumstances, would also be valuable to implementing agencies in developing a safety program for reducing truck accidents.
