Abstract:The project “Data Analysis for Local Roadway
Assessment” conducted systematic road-safety
assessment and identified major risks that can be el
iminated or reduced by pr
actical road-improvement
measures. Specifically, the primary task of this project was to collect and code detailed data on key
roadway and traffic control characteristics for 10
0-meter roadway segments from Internet-based photos
on Google Street View®. From November 1, 2013, to April 30, 2014, data on more than 50 key
safety-related design characteristics were carefully collected and documented for 1,566 100-meter road
segments in Boone County, 3,941 in Champaign Count
y, and 2,545 in Vermilion County. Data were
collected at an average rate of 4.16 kilometers per hour. This report summarizes the main activities
(training, data coding, and communication), management and control (internal and external
supervision), and key results of this project.
