Road Network Management - The Safety Focus

The principles of road and traffic engineering, based on a sound analysis of all relevant data with an understanding of road user behavior, to identify and implement improvements to bring about cost-effective reductions in crashes and casualties, are discussed. The emergency of road safety engineering represents an augmentation of basic road and traffic engineering expertise, which is achieved through specific safety training. A safety management system adopted by a road controlling authority should include a strategic plan for achieving targeted reduction in the crash situation. The development and implementation of safety management system becomes more important for road engineering.
