Summary This project is conducted by the Institute of Transportation (IOT) under the Program for the Improvement of Traffic Order and Safety, in response to a decree issued by the Executive Yuan. Through a computer analysis of the 1996 accident data in Taiwan area provided by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications Information Center, the study identified the accident-prone locations throughout the Taiwan area. To have a better understanding about those locations, field study teams were arranged. The team members included the officers from the Road Traffic Safety Commission, the IOT, the Provincial Department of Transportation, the Taiwan Highway Bureau, and the police and engineering divisions of local governments. After full discussions with the team members, the IOT has proposed an improvement plan for each accident-prone location. This year, a total of 288 accident-prone locations have been identified. The total cost to improve those locations in NT 55,143, 370 and the average cost for each location is NT190,000.
