Book excerpt: "This document is part 2 of the 'Austroads guide to road safety'. It is intended as a guide to the process of strategy development and evaluation. It outlines options for strategy development and the value of a 'vision' in driving strategy development. Strategies are of necessity collaborative enterprises, involving a range of stakeholders and partners. A number of information sources are necessary to define problems, including crash and hospital databases, and scientific studies of specific issues and general countermeasures which may affect a wide range of crash types. Countermeasure selection should depend on their proven effectiveness, likely benefits in relation to cost, public acceptability and the jurisdiction's capacity to deliver them. Innovative measures should be closely evaluated. The value of setting targets is discussed, together with the appropriate performance indicators and analysis methods. Advice is provided regarding the implementation process and the essential contribution of monitoring and evaluation is explained."--Summary, opposite t.p.

Book excerpt: These guidelines for investigating and treating crash locations on the road network draw together current practices in Australia and overseas. They replace Part 4 of the Austroads' Guide to Traffic Engineering Practice series, entitled Road Crashes which was first published in 1988. These guidelines now form a companion document for Austroads' Road Safety Audit, first published in 1994.--foreword.

Download or read book Identification of High Pedestrian Crash Locations written by Kay Fitzpatrick and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An initial step in reducing the frequency of pedestrian crashes is identifying where they occur or where there is a concern they are likely to occur. As part of a Federal Highway Administration project, the Guidebook on Identification of High Pedestrian Crash Locations was developed to present a process to assist State and local agencies in identifying high pedestrian crash locations such as intersections (points), segments, facilities, and areas.(1) This document summarizes the research efforts to develop the five-step process. Several cities and States were contacted to establish the criteria used to identify and rank high pedestrian crash locations. In all cases, crash data are being used. In some cases, other variables are considered, especially when developing the list of sites for treatments. For example, Los Angeles uses a score that considers the age of the pedestrian and a health and equity index in addition to the number of injury crashes and the number of fatal crashes. Several of the cities create unique lists for intersections, facilities, and areas, recognizing that treatment selection would be different for these element types. The methods used to identify and evaluate sites with a high crash frequency have evolved in recent decades. The availability of geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) for crashes has resulted in the ubiquitous use of geographic information system platforms for displaying the locations and density of crashes on maps.

Download or read book Safety Evaluation of the Safety Edge Treatment written by and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Between periods of maintenance, pavement-edge drop-offs can form along the edge of highways. When a driver runs off the roadway, such drop-offs can hinder reentry and may lead to driver overcorrection, loss of control, or overturning on the roadway or roadside. The safety edge is a treatment that is implemented in conjunction with pavement resurfacing and is intended to help minimize drop-off-related crashes. This report examines the safety effects, costs, and benefits of this low-cost treatment for two-lane and multilane rural highways. The safety research was conducted as an observational before-after evaluation of treated sites using the empirical Bayes method. The economic appraisal consisted of a benefit-cost analysis"--Technical report documentation page.

Book excerpt: TRB¿s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 617: Accident Modification Factors for Traffic Engineering and ITS Improvements explores the development of accident modification factors (AMFs) for traffic engineering and intelligent transportation system improvements. AMFs, also known as crash reduction factors, are designed to provide a simple and quick way of estimating the safety impacts of various types of engineering improvements, encompassing the areas of signing, alignment, channelization, and other traffic engineering solutions.
