Canada Abstract Improvements to highway safety are a high priority for highway authorities due to the social and economic costs of traffic collisions. Therefore, the main objective of this thesis was to examine the effect of automated speed cameras (ASCs) as measured in fatal traffic collision frequencies using data from Kuwait. This thesis also established traffic safety benchmarks for Kuwait to improve the practice of analyzing safety trends and identifying locations with high fatal collisions. A database of fatal collisions was created, and qualitative spatial analysis was performed using GIS software. Collision prediction models were developed and the results of the statistical analysis showed that there is a statistically significant relationship between fatal traffic collisions and ASCs in one of three influence ranges studied. The model showed an increase in fatal collision frequency with the presence of ASC, which might suggest among other possible explanations, that the ASCs in Kuwait have been correctly installed at locations with high collision frequencies. ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisors, Professors Yasser Hassan and A.O. Abd El Halim, for their support, advice and guidance. Special thanks to the General Traffic Department, at the Ministry of Interior in Kuwait, for their valuable cooperation and for allowing me access to their data. iii Table of Contents Abstract ii Acknowledgements iii Table of Contents iv List of Tables vii List of Illustrations ix List of Symbols xi List of Appendices xiii 1.

This campaign is a partnership between the Human Line Organization and the Social Work Society in collaboration with the Ministry of Interior and other international organizations. “One Roof” Campaign works toward building a positive relationship between the employer and domestic worker that is governed by justice and serves to protect the rights and dignity of both parties. The campaign aims to raise awareness about domestic workers’ rights as stated in Kuwaiti laws to reduce conflict and problems that may arise due to the lack of awareness of laws that regulate the work of domestic workers in Kuwait. “One Roof” also seeks to emphasize that domestic work is an occupation that should be regulated by laws and procedures. About the Legal Guide While the relationship between the employer and domestic worker in Kuwait is successful and effective in most cases, it is still important for domestic workers to be knowledgeable of their legal rights and responsibilities in order to be familiar with the rules that regulate their work and be able to demand their rights in case they were violated.
