Integrated Pavement Friction Management & Safety Performance Framework

Illinois
This project develops an integrated, network-level pavement friction management framework for Illinois. It transforms friction, traffic, and pavement characteristics into crash-risk measures and integrates them with life-cycle cost analysis to support proactive pavement management decisions.

Advancing Project Identification in Idaho

Idaho
Reliable crash prediction depends on quality data. By combining Idaho and Utah roadway inventory and crash data, ITD improved crash prediction models. This enables Idaho to better identify safety projects and allocate funding using the combined AASHTOWare Safety partner data.

Iowa DOT Safety Impact Dashboard Development

Iowa
Traffic safety projects can produce varying impacts on safety performance. While some projects substantially reduce crashes, others may yield limited or unexpected measurable effects. Establishing a robust framework for tracking crash histories associated with safety projects is therefore essential for the Iowa DOT and other state DOTs to assess project effectiveness, efficiency, return on investment, and broader safety performance implications.

Minnesota Comprehensive Roundabout Study

Minnesota
HDR helped MnDOT to study the safety performance of roundabouts in Minnesota. A unique aspect of this study was the evaluation of various roundabout features (such as number of legs, circulating lanes, radius, curvature, signing, etc.). The poster highlights the findings from this study.

Analysis of the Safety Effectiveness of Rear-End Collision Avoidance ADAS

FHWA
This study analyzed the safety effectiveness of FCW (forward collision warning) and CIB (crash imminent braking) ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) systems based on large-scale, police-reported crash data combined with decoded VINs of crash vehicles. The QIE and logistic regression were adopted to measure and compare the reduction of rear-end striking across driver and vehicle groups.
