  • Abstract:
    The CAPH initiative is intended to aid UDOT managers in measuring the safety aspects of their programs. Most of these managers are traditionally not involved in direct safety activities, but manage activities that significantly affect the safety of our highways. Many UDOT functions have a profound influence on transportation safety, but we have not consistently and formally measured this influence. Specific performance measures for each UDOT program having an impact on safety are proposed through the CAPH effort. Programs can be improved such as snow removal, deer fence activities, slippery pavement decisions, commercial vehicle inspection, vehicle off-tracking, pavement marking programs, drainage control, glare screen, railroad crossings, construction zone traffic control, and rumble strips, just to name a few. The information for these performance measures can be down-loaded in minutes using the existing Crash Data Delivery System. This system is the result of a research project aimed at developing a system for specific UDOT use. It allows extremely rapid down-load of accident information over the Internet from remote sites, and displays it on a map or in tabular form. All region and division managers responsible for these activities have received training on the use of this system through a research contract with iWorQ and InGeo Systems Inc. who developed the software.
