A methodologic framework for multicriteria decision-making in the field of traffic safety (R-2898)

This research aims at incorporating advanced statistical methods (such as optimization algorithms) into a new multi-criteria decision making framework in order to enable road safety decision makers to make better informed choices. Given the complexity of the road safety phenomenon and the increasing attention paid to an extended set of road safety indicators (in which not only the number of fatalities are included, but also risk factors, policy efforts and descriptive characteristics) evaluation based on multiple indicators is required. A potential area of application is the amelioration of the driving education. Moreover, the nature of these indicators imply a number of methodological challenges.
