Abstract:To maintain a high-quality transportation
system for Michigan’s traveling
public, MDOT makes a sustained commitment
to excellence in transportation
research. That commitment includes both
developing solutions to meet Michigan’s
transportation needs and sharing the
results nationally so that other states can
learn from efforts in which MDOT has
taken the lead.
MDOT won national recognition for
its research in 2016, earning its third “Sweet
Sixteen” award in five years from the
American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO).
AASHTO’s Research Advisory Committee
members — state DOT research directors
— annually cast their votes among
more than a hundred submissions to
honor 16 standout research projects.
This year’s award-winning project
evaluated the safety impacts and cost-effectiveness
of engineering improvements
designed to reduce crashes among
elderly drivers. Researchers compared
crash data before and after MDOT began
implementing changes in 2004.
