Update on United States Road Assessment Program (usRAP) SCOHTS Meeting May 1, 2009

RESEARCH PLANS

“Safer drivers in safer vehicles on safer roads”

Road Assessment Programs EuroRAP AusRAP usRAP iRAP CanRAP

usRAP Background Unacceptably high socio-economic toll from traffic crashes Culture of complacency Under-investment in safety No national system to assess road safety exists Politics vs. evidence-based decisions Little transparency

usRAP Objectives Benchmark safety of road segments Allocate resources based on risks Infrastructure Enforcement Inform and provide guidance to motorists Foster Collaboration

Phase I Phase II Phase III usRAP Pilot States

Research Team Midwest Research Institute Iowa State University usRAP Advisory Panel AASHTO AHUA & RSF ATSSA Auto Clubs FHWA ITE NACE Local/State Highway Agencies

usRAP Protocols Risk Mapping Road Protection Score Performance Tracking

Specialty Maps Intersections Older drivers Novice drivers Alcohol Speed Core Maps Crash density Crash rate Crash rate ratio Potential crash savings Fatals and Serious Injuries

Risk Map-West of Orlando

Star Ratings based on Road Protection Score Provide star ratings based on safety features of specific sites Crash Likelihood Crash protection Can supplement and explain risk maps Useful when crash data are limited Identifies countermeasure options

Star Ratings based on Road Protection Score Star rating based on features related to: –head-on crashes –run-off-road crashes –intersection crashes Pilot tested in Phase I Completing validation

Typical Inspection Vehicle

Hawkeye Processing Toolkit

Navteq Collaboration Navteq will provide video-logs Joint project to reduce data and produce RPS maps Navteq – In vehicle navigation AAAFTS – Free maps & countermeasure options to public agencies AAA – Triptiks

Outreach Projects Utah – Multi-media campaign in collaboration with RSF & UDOT Can a Public Information & Education program increase public support for road safety investments? usRAP maps used to explain risks Genesse County – Town hall meetings Gauge consumer feedback on usRAP maps Discuss road safety efforts

Applications of usRAP Highway safety improvement plans Performance “metrics” 5% reports High risk rural road grants Guide resource allocation Infrastructure Enforcement Support asset management

One Death Is Unacceptable, One Death Every Thirteen Minutes Is An Outrage

Compendium and synthesis available Ignited new national dialogue on issue National survey of knowledge, beliefs, attitudes and behaviors

In- House Projects

National Rural Summit On Traffic Safety Culture Where: Big Sky, Montana When: Monday June 22, 2009 Who: Western Transportation Institute, Montana State University, Montana DOT, and AAAFTS Why: Discuss role of Traffic Safety Culture in our society mmit.html
