Abstract

In order to enhance the transportation safety management, basic ideas and a theoretical framework of transportation safety planning (TSP) were put forward and their features were refined. Then, from the strategic and tactical aspect, a comprehensive review for the state of the art and achievements in TSP in United States was presented, followed by several prominent research topics and technical challenges. Finally, combined with current situation of transportation safety in China, countermeasures for effective improvement in the researches and practice of TSP were put forward. The results show that TSP has been among the cutting-edge fields in transportation researches in the world, which requires the proactive safety measures to be incorporated into both development and operation of transportation system and emphasizes safety prediction and planning from both macroscopic and microscopic level. It is promising for a bi-directional revolution for traditional transportation planning practice, transportation safety engineering and its management.
