• Description:
  Traditional highway safety performance metrics have been largely based on fatal crashes and more recently serious injury crashes. In the near future however, there may be less severe motor vehicle crashes due to advances in driver assistance systems, infrastructure and vehicle based communication technologies, active traffic management systems, and vehicle design. To understand the impact that these technologies will have on highway safety, emergency response, and performance metrics this paper evaluates the state of the art practices and technologies that will transform future transportation systems. In addition, event scenarios in which crashes or safety critical events could still occur are examined. Finally, alternative highway safety performance measures and response are identified.
