Can a road safety measure be both effective and ineffective at the same time? A game-theoretic model of the effects of daytime running lights
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-07-06)Studies that have evaluated the effects on accidents of daytime running lights for cars have consistently found that cars using daytime running lights are involved in fewer multi-party accidents in daylight than cars not ... -
Can a safety-in-numbers effect and a hazard-in-numbers effect co-exist in the same data?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-08-22)Safety-in-numbers denotes a non-linear relationship between exposure (traffic volume) and the number of accidents, characterised by declining risk as traffic volume increases. There is safety-in-numbers when the number of ... -

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-10-02)Based on recent studies, this paper examines whether an increased use of electronic stability control can replace studded tyres. A re-analysis of a study that evaluated the effects on accidents of changes in the use of ... -
Can evolutionary theory explain the slow development of knowledge about the level of safety built into roads?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017-06-13)In several papers, Hauer (1988, 1989, 2000a, 2000b, 2016) has argued that the level of safety built into roads is unpremeditated, i.e. not the result of decisions based on knowledge of the safety impacts of design standards. ... -
Can it be true that most drivers are safer than the average driver?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-06-27)Surveys finding that a large majority of drivers regard themselves as safer than the average driver have been ridiculed as showing that most drivers are overconfident about their safety and as showing something which is ... -
Can the use of road safety measures on national roads in Norway be interpreted as an informal application of the ALARP principle?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-11-24)The ALARP principle, stating that risks should be reduced to a level “As Low As Reasonably Practicable”, is widely known and discussed in risk management. The principle is flexible, as the interpretation of the key concepts ... -
Capturing the least costly way of reducing pollution: A shadow price approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-05-18)The production analysis literature is increasingly concerned with estimating marginal abatement costs. Yet, most studies do not emphasize the ways in which pollutants may be reduced and their costs, which makes them unable ... -
