By: Contributor(s): Publication details: Transportation Research Record, 1998Description: nr 1647, s. 67-74Subject(s): Bibl.nr: VTI P8167:1647 VTI P8169:1998Location: Abstract: Brief descriptions are provided of a new cost-effectiveness analysis program, known as the Roadside Safety Analysis Program (RSAP), which was developed under NCHRP Project 22-9. RSAP is an improvement over existing cost-effectiveness analysis procedures for evaluation of roadside safety improvements, such as the procedures in the 1977 AASHTO barrier guide and the ROADSIDE program. RSAP improves on many of the algorithms in the procedures and provides a user-friendly interface to facilitate use. The program has undergone extensive testing and validation, including evaluation by an independent reviewer. It is anticipated that RSAP will be available to the public through the McTrans Center at the University of Florida.
