15. Towards a Road Safety Development Index (RSDI) : Development of an International Index to Measure Road Safety Performance
Abstract : Aim. This study suggests a set of methodologies to combine different indicators of road safety into a single index. The RSDI is a simple and quick composite index, which may become a significant measurement in comparing, ranking and determining road safety levels in different countries and regions worldwide. Design. READ MORE
