Road Safety: Risk Management Perspective

Risk is ubiquitous and is associated with a very wide range of human activities. This has resulted in the development of an internationally agreed set of principles and guidelines for risk management in general. This paper describes the methods and processes that have been developed for general risk management, along with some of the knowledge upon which those methods and processes are based. It is argued that road safety could be improved by employing those methods and processes. (C) 2019 American Society of Civil Engineers.
