Highway Safety Project Evaluation Methodologies comparisons with world class techniques

Abstract

The objective of this project was to develop and present techniques which would be useful in the evaluation of highway safety countermeasures programs conducted by local and state agencies. Systems analysis techniques were used to organize the evaluation process and to develop its components in a logical manner. The report includes a chronological overview of the program formulation, implementation and evaluation process, program modelling techniques, material on I experimental design, cost-effectiveness analysis, anti the application of these evaluative methods to four OHSP programs.
The project is to develop and present techniques which are useful in the evaluation of "action" projects conducted by local and state agencies. Throughout this study, we have used the techniques of systems analysis to organize the evaluation process and to develop the components of this process in a logical manner, Without such a systems approach, the evaluator is left with no unified way to consider project proposals.
