      <title>Improve Understanding of the Benefits of Safety Data-driven Decision Making</title>
      <link>https://rip.trb.org/View/2093185</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This study will partner with the agencies participating in Evaluation of Low-Cost Safety Improvements Pooled Fund Study to do the following: (1) evaluate the safety effectiveness of unproven safety countermeasures and to identify and address methodological issues with the development, application, and assessment of crash modification factors (CMFs); (2) Maintain the CMF Clearinghouse and continue to make enhancements for our stakeholders; (3) CMF development for mini-roundabouts; (4) CMF development for wrong-way driving countermeasures; (5) CMF development of bike lane configurations for segments and at intersections; and (6) Continue to improve and update FHWA’s Safety Data Dashboard. This resource converts large and complex datasets into graphical displays that aid in reviewing data trends and making comparisons.]]></description>

      <title>Broaden the Integration of Safety Data and Analysis into All Processes</title>
      <link>https://rip.trb.org/View/2093184</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This study will do the following: (1) Maintain and operate the Highway Safety Information System VI for roadway safety analysis; (2) Define concepts for Highway Safety Information System VII applying new big data analytics; (3) Explore use of disparate data in safety analyses to gain broader perspective and more complete picture of highway crashes and safety; (4) Explore the potential open source data management tools that can enable novel data conflations and lead to analyses that consider various infrastructure and operations data in safety analysis; (5) Complete Pilot of In-Service Performance Evaluation, providing lessons learned for State DOTs regarding how to collect data to conduct an in-service performance evaluation; and (6) Support the Advanced Enterprise GIS for Transportation Systems AEGIST to through the development and validation of uniform data collection procedures and reporting.]]></description>

      <title>Travel Forecasting Resource with TRB and Travel Analysis Metadata</title>
      <link>https://rip.trb.org/View/1512355</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The National Cooperative Highway Research Program and the Transportation Research Board (TRB) Travel Forecasting Resource are developing broad spectrum resources for travel forecasting and analysis. Feedback from lead modeling agencies during peer reviews requested additional context information to efficiently fit the modeling tool to fit agency needs and priorities. This effort will develop metadata and search tools to assist modelers in identifying data and methods that are specific to their application context.  The TF Resource is a travel demand modeling reference written by travel modelers for travel modelers. It is hosted by TRB and overseen by Special Committee ADB45 per the recommendations from Special Report 288. These funds will be made available to TRB under a grant to develop content and manage the reference.]]></description>
