Develop Safety Scoring Tool for the Wet Surface Crash Reduction Program
The research team will develop a risk assessment procedure related to the reduction of wet weather crashes that incorporates pavement surface type and aggregate selection and will be integrated into the Safety Scoring Tool (SST). The developed scoring tool will bridge the gap between the approaches in the two current tools, the SST and Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Form 2088. The research team will leverage the inputs and framework of the SST and the communalities with TxDOT Form 2088 to improve the SST and the wet surface crash reduction program (WSCRP). Integration of the SST and TxDOT Form 2088 will provide the benefits of streamlining the data inputs already required for the SST to avoid duplication of efforts and will effectively improve the quality of the assessment of pavement friction safety.
