• Abstract:
  The report documents the development and implementation of a one-week training course on a cost-effectiveness analysis procedure for developing a roadside safety improvement program. The project entailed two distinct efforts: (1) development of the course text, instructor's manual, and associated materials, and (2) refinement of the existing computer analysis model to provide output in a form amenable to manager interpretation and priority ranking of roadside safety improvements. The former was accomplished by the Texas Transportation Institute; the latter by the Texas State Department of Highways and Public Transportation. The training course included the updated version of the existing analysis model currently being used in Texas by the SDHPT and the data management computer software. The refinements to the existing computer analysis model and the development of the data management computer programs are documented in a final report prepared by the Texas SDHPT, a complementary document to this report. The preparation of course materials and discussion of the course conduct are presented here. The resultant course included a combination of lecture presentations with numerous visual aids, demonstration of procedural techniques using detailed case examples, and five workshop sessions in which participants demonstrated their ability to apply the principles taught in the lecture session.
