Evaluation of Low-Cost Safety Improvements Pooled Fund Study, Phase IV

The objectives of this research project are to develop and conduct driving simulations to evaluate safety strategies for: 1) enhanced shoulder or in-lane delineation and marking for sharp curves; 2) enhanced delineation along the curve; 3) advanced warning of unexpected changes in horizontal alignment; 4) dynamic curve warning system; and 5) traffic calming at small-town intersections.
