Keywords

China; Research; Traffic safety

Abstract

Despite a higher level of motorization, the roads in the US are significantly safer than those in China. Such a difference partially results from much advanced road safety research and their scientific implementations of the research results. In the past decade, a series of nationwide strategies have been developed to improve the road safety in the US. There are many invaluable experiences in the process of addressing road safety that may be useful for China to formulate its own strategies in road safety investment and research. Following a presentation on the state of the art and the practice of US road safety, this study attempts to reveal some key strategic issues to improve safety from a perspective of research. © 2010 ASCE.
