| Abstract | As Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) being to handle multi-criteria analysis for complex decision making, AHP has been used as a study tool to learn and prioritize information that could prevent and reduce accidents. Information is obtained from questionnaire with one hundred respondents. Criteria and sub-criteria are adapted from White Paper for Safe Roads in 2050 of UN (2010). Four criteria include factors pertinent to 1) engineering (sub-criteria: road geometries, traffic signs, traffic signals, and rainwater drainage), 2) economics (sub-criteria: cost-effective road safety investments, cost-effective auto maintenance investments, and cost-effective road maintenance investments), 3) environmental and social (sub-criteria: medical service, quality of life, public transportation, and bicycle commuting), and 4) safety management (sub-criteria: law enforcement, quality of accident data, and road users' knowledge of road rules). Respondents are selected groups of policemen, health care staffs (physicians and nurses), highway department personnel, academic and engineering staffs, and people in general. The questionnaire survey applies pairwise comparison, to study attitudes/preferences of respondents regarding accident factors of these criteria and sub-criteria. From AHP analysis, safety management factor is ordered first in the prioritization of this study. This agrees with AHP sub-criterion analysis that the most prioritized factors are law enforcement and knowledge of road rules, respectively. |
