SPR-4540: Incorporating Time Dependent Data to Pro-Active Safety Management –A Pilot Study

The current reactive safety-related decision making is based on crash data collected for at least three years. The existing road data supplemented with emerging data that reflect temporal changes in safety factors such as volume, speed, weather, and pavement conditions are expected to be useful in estimating hourly risks of crashes and their severity. The project will demonstrate the development and proactive use of new safety management system components for freeway rural segments and urban intersections. The results will include the guidelines of acquiring, storing, and handling massive amount of data needed for this purpose.
