چکیده
Road safety is a very important issue in many jurisdictions. Road collisions, which have been identified as a major public health problem by the World Health Organization, are the 11th leading cause of global deaths.1 This problem is being addressed in North America through improved education, enforcement and engineering. Having access to better information systems and tools to support decisions could improve road safety. The use of video and global positioning system (GPS) technology allows observation from the perspective of an individual driver and could be one tool to assist engineers in making better decisions regarding roadway improvements. The application of video and GPS technology presents two opportunities: • The observation of driver response to roadway characteristics and the identification of problem areas that need attention; and • The use of video and GPS technology to provide assistance in the selection of sites where road safety reviews could be applied.
