• Abstract:
  This book provides an introduction to the fundamental concepts of road safety. The book’s goal is to equip the reader with a broad base of knowledge about road safety. Thus, the focus is in communicating concepts rather than providing instruction in detailed analysis procedures. The audience for this book is two-fold. First, this is intended for those whose job addresses some aspect of road safety, particularly in a public agency setting. Second, this book is intended for professors and students in a university setting. This book seeks to lay the foundation of road safety knowledge regardless of a particular discipline. Professionals with a background in engineering, planning, public health, law enforcement, and other disciplines will benefit from the concepts presented here.
