Abstract:Crash analysis assists agencies in determining
appropriate roadway or intersection improvements
or countermeasures that can make travel on
roadways safer. Crash analysis examines many
aspects of travel and can involve specialists
from enforcement, education, and engineering,
including transportation designers, planners,
and maintenance engineers. Improvements
and countermeasures can lead to enhanced
enforcement efforts, roadway enhancements,
pavement marking, signing, or other actions.
In this project, Florida International University
researchers examined the current pattern of
crash analysis practice in Florida with a view
toward standardization. Their first objective
was to identify how and by whom crash analysis
is currently performed. To reach the wide
spectrum of transportation agencies in Florida,
the researchers developed three online surveys
targeted at Florida Department of Transportation
(FDOT) districts, local transportation agencies,
and law enforcement agencies.
