2010 SCOHTS Annual Meeting Ken Campbell SHRP2 Chief Program Officer Accelerating solutions for highway safety, renewal, reliability, and capacity
2
AASHTO Standing Committee on Highways Strategic Plan 2010 – 2014 * Cut Fatalities in Half by 2030 * Performance Management * Congestion-free America * Workforce Planning and Development * System Preservation * Research and Emerging Technology * Project Delivery * Climate Change * Freight * Communicating the Value of Transportation
3
2009 Critical issues in Transportation Executive Committee of Transportation Research Board Increasing Congested Transportation Facilities across all Modes Energy, Environment, and Climate Change Require New Approaches Infrastructure: enormous, aging asset ol to preserve and maintain Finance: Inadequate Revenue Emergency Preparedness, Response and Mitigation Highway Safety: Insufficient Improvements 20 th Century Institutions Mismatched to 21Century Missions Inadequate Investment in Innovations
4
SHRP 2 Authorized in SAFETEA-LU $170 million, 7 years First research contracts signed 2/07 Administered by TRB under MOU with FHWA and AASHTO 3-tiered stakeholder governance: 400-500 volunteers serving on 40-50 committees/panels
5
Safe Highways Better Transport Decisions Reliable Travel Time Great Custome r Service Rapid Renewal and Lasting Facilities Providing outstanding customer service for the 21 st Century
6
Four Research Focus Areas Safety: safer driving through knowledge of driver, roadway, vehicle factors in crashes, near crashes, ordinary driving Renewal: rapid, minimum disruption highway renewal producing long-lasted facilities Reliability: more reliability travel times through management of non-recurring events Capacity: new highways that meet environmental, community, economic needs
7
Example SHRP 2 Products Technical input for design and construction specifications Standard details and plans Methods: analysis, design, construction, inspection, monitoring, data collection, research protocols (manuals) Software, databases, web-based tools Institutional strategies, processes (guidelines); model agreements New products, equipment, materials, processes, systems, tests Demonstrations, pilot studies Case studies, examples, best practices Plans: evaluation, monitoring, implementation, marketing, future research Reports, papers, presentations, annotated bibliography Training, certification programs
8
Potential Users and Beneficiaries Taxpayers Motorists Commercial drivers Bus riders Shipping and logistics professionals Environmental agencies Communities, businesses and event owners Railroads Utilities Auto manufacturers and suppliers MPOs Law enforcement providers Firefighters EMS providers Highway designers, contractors and suppliers State and local transportation agencies

SHRP 2 Safety Research Focus Area “ Make a significant improvement in highway safety ” Safer driving through knowledge of driver, roadway, & vehicle factors in crashes, near crashes, ordinary driving 43,000 deaths Millions of injuries $200+ billion/year economic costs
10
Why a Naturalistic Driving Study? Strategic focus on the driver Collect more and better data: Objective pre-crash data More accurate crash data Near crash/incident data “ Exposure ” (ordinary driving) data Determine relative crash risk for different factors Develop crash surrogates
11
Naturalistic Driving Study S01—Analysis Development Technical Coordination—S06 Spatial Data S04A Collect Roadway Data—S04B Site 1 S07 Site 2,.. S07 Site 6 S07 S02— Analysis Plan S08 ETG RFPs Database Management Quality Control—S06 Multiple Analysis Projects—S08 SHRP 2 Safety Staff Safety TCC Existing Roadway Data Roadway Database S04A DAS Procurement—S12A
12
SHRP 2 Plans Instrument 1950 vehicles in 6 sites: –Vehicle: speed, acceleration, etc. –Front radar; 4 cameras views Other data: –Driver assessment –Roadway/roadside data –Detailed crash investigations Develop analytical methods Answer high-priority safety questions Make data available for continued analysis after SHRP 2

16
Use of NDS Data: Examples Distracted driving: policies, laws on use of hand-held devices, texting, etc., for teens or broader population Drowsiness: policies, regulations for commercial drivers Vehicle design/technologies: integrate advanced technologies to minimize or reduce distraction, evaluate crash warning algorithms Education: feedback to teens and parents Roadway: improved design, operations, signage, hardware, etc. Other: planning, highway operations, fuel efficiency, environmental effects
17
THE SHRP 2 IMPLEMENTATION PHASE Required Report to Congress, February, 2009 Funding level $400 Million ? TRB (SHRP2), FHWA, AASHTO, NHTSA Implement the Program Many Products: tools, technical guidance, techniques and processes Deployment Activities: training, pilot projects, technical information, demonstration projects, technical assistance and product showcases. Feedback to Congress on implementation success and value added
18
TRB S.R. 296 Recommendations: Summary 1.A SHRP 2 implementation program should be established 2.FHWA should serve as the principal implementation agent in partnership with AASHTO, NHTSA and TRB 3.Funding: $ $400 million for 1 st 6 years 4.Establish a formal stakeholder advisory structure 5.Develop detailed implementation plans
19
Principles Establish principal implementation agent early Involve stakeholders Communicate ceaselessly Prioritize products for optimal success Choose the right implementation strategies Balance divergent and convergent approaches
20
Implementation Activities TRB, FHWA and AASHTO implementation staff Form SHRP 2 Implementation Steering Committee Form Communication and Marketing work group Prepare product lists based on a strategic approach “Early products”— Railroads, Utilities, Land Use, TCAPP, Performance Measures Extensive national and international outreach program: meetings and presentations
