| Abstract | During fiscal year 1997 the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport of Japan introduced a system for evaluating road investment projects that considers reduction of road accidents as well as savings in time and running costs. However, the unit cost to calculate the benefit of reducing road accidents was not based on willingness to pay. In this study, we estimated the weight of road injuries against fatalities based on Japanese people’s preferences by a standard gamble approach. In the primary investigation, we estimated the weight of serious injuries based on social preference as well as usual private preference; no obvious differences were observed. Our results were slightly larger than those in the United Kingdom. In the secondary investigation, we estimated the weight of slight injuries and serious injuries using standard gambles. We prepared two questionnaires to assess whether differences in choices affect the results. There was no conclusive proof either way. Finally, we expressed the loss of road injuries in monetary terms by multiplying the weight of injuries to the value of a statistical life and derived a much higher estimate of total costs due to accidents than did the Japanese government. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
