From Work Zone Safety Feeds to Emergency Response: An Evolutionary Approach to Post-Crash Care
DelawareIowaLouisianaNebraska
Through FHWA’s Advanced Digital Construction Management Systems grant, a four-state cohort developed a framework to verify and broadcast active work-zone status as real-time digital worker-presences feeds.
Bridge & Freeway Work Zones: Traffic Management for Safety & Mobility
Massachusetts
To improve work zone safety, MassDOT created construction standards and specifications for Accelerated Bridge Construction, moveable barriers, and lane closures scheduled at night. The measures increased safety, traffic flow, and cost savings.
Using Probe Data and Telematics for Local Traffic Safety Campaigns
Massachusetts
MassDOT uses probe and telematics data to identify safety issues in local communities. They develop targeted campaigns and use probe and telematics data to measure post-campaign behavior.
Safer Mobility: Embracing Technology and Pilot Programs through the Safe System Approach
FloridaKentuckyMassachusettsMissouri
Emerging innovations offer new opportunities to align with the safe system approach. Broward County, Florida identified 35 technologies for safer roads. Louisville, Kentucky developed strategies for safer speeds. MassDOT’s virtual reality pop-up experience strengthened outreach for safer people. Missouri’s predictive layered operations initiative (PLOI) enhanced post-crash care.
Crashes to Conflicts: Advancing Predictive Safety Evaluations with Lidar-Developed Near-Miss Analytics
Nevada
NDOT used a model with LiDAR-based all-traffic trajectory data to enhance pedestrian safety assessments at urban intersections. The data is helping planners anticipate and mitigate safety risks and develop precisely targeted improvements.
Smarter Roads Ahead: The Smart Work Zone Success at Rainbow/Veterans Bridges
Texas
Smart work zone strategies on a TxDOT bridge project improved safety for workers and the public. Temporary incident detection and surveillance, travel time, and speed monitoring systems made the project area was safer and more responsive.
DelDOT's Accelerating Digital Inspection Practices with Connected Machinery (ADCMS) project involves collaborating with contractors and tech providers to share telematics data from construction equipment, enhancing work zone safety.
SR 85 Road Safety Assessment MP 58.5-80.5 — Leveraging Drone Technology at ADOT
Arizona
ADOT used drone technology for a roadway assessment in a unique situation, which enhanced safety for observers, avoided traffic impacts, and allowed for a better understanding of how to make a difference in traffic safety.
Incorporating Safety Analysis into Virginia’s Transportation Funding Prioritization Process
Virginia
Virginia's SMART SCALE program prioritizes transportation projects for funding based on safety, congestion, accessibility, land use, environmental quality, and economic viability.
TxDOT uses a crash data portal to improve safety and educate the public. Public service announcements and further information for each emphasis area is embedded alongside the data.
