A Systematic Approach of Identifying Safety Intervention Programs for Indiana

This project will develop a comprehensive method of identifying relevant and effective safety interventions to address needs identified with the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) road network screening tool developed in the Phase 1. The tool will enhance INDOT's ability to develop the most cost-effective solutions for safety problems, thus increasing efficiency of investments of the traffic safety programs. This is expected to reduce considerably the recurring effort in terms of staff-hours needed to assess system performance, identify poorly operating candidate project sites, and develop and evaluate countermeasures' cost-effectiveness.
