Halving Roadway Fatalities. A Case Study from Victoria, Australia 1989-2004

摘要

In April 2004, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP), and Austroads undertook a scanning study of how agencies in Australia, Canada, Japan, and New Zealand use performance measures in transportation planning and decisionmaking--Transportation Performance Measures in Australia, Canada, Japan, and New Zealand. The U.S. panel was particularly impressed with how Australia's transportation and safety agencies used performance measures to implement driver behavioral strategies geared toward reducing crashes. According to the panels observations, the Australian model demonstrated the most advanced process of understanding the problems, benchmarking against others, setting targets, identifying strategies, monitoring effects, and integrating results into future planning efforts.
