4Background and Project Objectives C h a p t e r 1 Background In its essence, rational planning involves using predicted consequences to guide selection from among a set of possible actions. In road safety engineering, this requires being able to predict the frequency and severity of crashes that are expected to result from a given design or operational configuration.
