Abstract

The allocation of limited economic resources among competing investment proposals in the railroad industry, especially among projects and programs designed to reduce accident occurrence and severity, implies that a means exists for relating the costs of railroad accident-related deaths, injuries, and property damage. This paper addresses the principal associated issues and suggests courses of action to assist analysts and decision makers.
