Research and Develop New Methodologies and Tools

This study will do the following: (1) Develop new safety countermeasures based on second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP2) Roadway Inventory Database (RID) analyses; (2) Release of state DOT-based research on SHRP2 based safety countermeasure development and effectiveness; (3) Evaluate potential motorcycle crash countermeasures identified through analysis of Motorcycle Crash Causation study data and input from motorcycle safety stakeholders; (4) Continue and improve data collection and analysis for estimating lives saved, injuries prevented and cost benefit ratios on safety infrastructure in a GIS data library; (5) Enhance a safety performance development tool that incorporates the implementation of statistical goodness of fit; (6) Explore use of realistic artificial data (RAD) as a measure of model fit, explaining safety relationships between variables used in highway safety modeling; (7) Evaluate potential motorcycle crash countermeasures identified through analysis of Motorcycle Crash Causation study data and input from motorcycle safety stakeholders; (8) Develop an integrated and holistic process for safety analysis by merging hotspot and systemic analysis models for a balanced approach that ensures the best possible selection of safety improvements; and (9) Enhance a safety performance development tool that incorporates the implementation of statistical goodness of fit.
