Presentation

Global efforts to improve highway safety have generally delivered considerable progress over the last ten years, while safety authorities have set even more aggressive goals for the future. In that light, it is perhaps a good time to take stock of how the latest geographic information systems (GIS) technologies can help these same safety managers be even more effective in identifying high crash locations, and the safety improvements designed to further reduce severe traffic crashes and fatalities.
