From page 5...
... Introduction 5 management procedures are newer, many safety engineers and managers are not familiar with the concepts. In addition, systemic safety management concepts have become incorporated into more traditional roadway safety management processes so the distinction between systemic safety management approaches and more traditional approaches to roadway safety management is unclear.
From page 6...
... 6 Guide for Quantitative Approaches to Systemic Safety Analysis and projects that best meet their capabilities and needs. The Systemic Safety Project Selection Tool is a key resource that transportation safety practitioners should reference to better understand step-by-step details on how to conduct systemic safety analysis.
From page 7...
... Introduction 7 specific crash type, driver behavior or demographic, or vehicle type/mode. The report series helps safety staff identify crash contributing factors and appropriate countermeasures for a given safety issue or focus crash type.
From page 8...
... 8 Guide for Quantitative Approaches to Systemic Safety Analysis to programming safety projects: the crash-history-based safety management approach, the systemic safety management approach, and the policy-based safety management approach. For each approach, advantages and disadvantages are discussed.
