Cost-Effectiveness and Safety of Alternative Roadway Delineation Treatments for Rural Two-Lane Highways. Volume II. Final Report.

摘要

The objectives of the study were to develop a cost-benefit methodology for evaluation of specific delineation treatments,and to develop cost-effective guidelines for delineation of various highway situations under differing geometric,traffic,and climatic conditions. The relationships between particular delineation treatments and monetary benefits are arrived at through analyses of accident experience on the assumptions that accident rate reduction can be expressed in monetary terms and that these reductions constitute the primary benefits to be derived from delineation.
