Module Description

Crashes and their outcomes are complex events involving the highway, driver, and environmental factors. A successful highway safety improvement program must consist of an organized process for identification of problems, analysis of problems, development of alternative solutions, application of the solutions, and evaluation of the outcome of the improvements. This module includes a discussion of techniques for using crash data to identify high hazard locations, analysis of crash patterns, identification of appropriate countermeasures, and evaluation of the effectiveness of improvements. This module also reviews the elements of the Safe System Approach, a major element of implementing the concept of Vision Zero.
