Abstract:Roadway departure (RwD), intersections, and pedestrians have been focus areas of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) research and safety programs for well over a decade because of elevated motor vehicle crash incidents. Countermeasures within each focus area have evolved as the data are further evaluated, and data-driven thinking has resulted in new processes for applying countermeasures. This analysis has led to an interest in improving not only the data that are used but also the definitions by which FWHA measures the crashes within each of its focus areas. The latter is the focus of this technical summary. The primary objectives of this report are as follows: (1) Inform safety specialists and data analysts of the FHWA revisions to the focus areas and (2) Provide detailed information on the current Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) attributes of each FHWA focus area.
