In this paper a multi-criteria "knapsack" model is described to help safety analysts in selecting the most cost-effective safety measures to be adopted.
This paper develops and implements a decision support framework that prescribes and prioritizes cost-effective safety improvements at deserving locations under funding constraints, economic and comprehensive crash cost methods, at rural two-lane highway sections.
The cost-effective safety management of such systems involves allocating the optimal amount of resources to inspection and maintenance activities, in order to control risks (expected costs of failure).
Therefore, a cost-effective safety-action strategy is proposed in this paper.
The EU commission in 2000 stated that "EuroNCAP had become the single most important mechanism for achieving advances in vehicle safety" and "the most cost effective road safety action available to the EU".
We conclude that STPA may indeed be more cost effective than PRA for safety engineering in lithium-ion battery systems.
The focus has to be on making systems that are more user friendly, cost effective, durable with better safety standards.
Developing leadership skills is considered crucial to meet the challenges of future health care, which can be solved through leadership in managing and delivering high-quality, cost effective care ensuring patient safety.
We have demonstrated that the TDFI approach can improve the uptake of a national patient safety guideline across three healthcare hospitals, and is clinically and cost effective for implementing a patient safety guideline in comparison to normal implementation practice.
More cost effective models of assessing cardiovascular safety like use of biomarkers, electronic medical records, pragmatic and factorial designs can be adopted.
A recent New Zealand community-based falls prevention study in an elderly population suggests that falls intervention programs can be cost effective, finding that a home safety program cost $432 per fall prevented [ 26].
