Traffic crashes result in approximately 1,900 fatalities and 165,000 injuries on Canadian roads each year. Presenting an ethical and practical dilemma, current reactive road safety management practices rely on fatalities and injuries to accrue in order to identify unsafe locations to remedy. This research will transform road safety management using advanced computer technology with behavioral econometrics to assess road safety based on observed vehicle trajectories, conflicts and risk indicators. Significant progress can be realized once safety professionals shift their focus from fixing existing safety problems to plan and design roads that will be problem-free, resulting in a safer road system.

加拿大道路上的交通事故每年造成约1，900人死亡和165，000人受伤。目前的被动道路安全管理做法在道德和实际上都处于两难境地，它依赖于不断累积的伤亡事故来确定需要补救的不安全地点。这项研究将利用先进的计算机技术和行为计量经济学来改变道路安全管理，根据观察到的车辆轨迹、冲突和风险指标来评估道路安全。一旦安全专业人员将其重点从解决现有的安全问题转移到规划和设计无问题的道路上，就可以实现重大进展，从而建立一个更安全的道路系统。
