Performance-based Standards for the Road Sector [electronic resource] /
European Conference of Ministers of Transport.
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.
Paris : OECD Publishing,
2005.
This report examines existing regulatory approaches and then explores how performance standards might be used to improve regulatory outcomes. Under a performance-based approach to regulation, standards would specify the performance required from vehicle operations rather than mandating how this level of performance is to be achieved. More flexible performance-based regulations provide for increased innovation and more rapid adoption of new technologies. The report explores the regulatory reform processes in some countries that have led to more direct, outcome-oriented approaches to regulating road transport vehicles.
