A systematic review of road safety investment appraisal models

It is estimated that 1.35 million people die annually due to road traffic crashes and these crashes cost most countries 3–5% of their gross domestic product (GDP). The economic appraisal of roads considers safety aspects to some extent, but a more explicit approach could add significant value. There...
