Abstract:The main purpose of this research project was to develop a systemic framework to identify high-risk locations for roadway departure crashes and applicable countermeasures for implementation (e.g., improving guardrails and barriers, or safety-treating roadside fixed objects). This research provided the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and its districts with data-driven tools to select locations at risk of roadway departure proactively instead of reactively (based on crash history only). Additionally, this project updated work code values that will help to better prioritize projects, making better use of limited resources and maximizing benefits.
