Synthesis of Studies on Speed and Safety

Studies on the relationship between speed and safety are compiled, and an overview of research interests in the United States and elsewhere is presented. Aspects that affect speed and safety are considered. Techniques for speed management are summarized. The studies are summarized, and conclusions are drawn.
