Abstract:

From 2010 to 2019, approximately 1700 wrong-way driving (WWD) crashes occurred in Texas on controlled-access highways (e.g., freeways and interstates). On average, about 170 WWD crashes occurred each year, and 10 percent resulted in a fatality. To reduce the number of wrong-way (WW) maneuvers and associated crashes on Texas freeways, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) purchases, installs, and maintains intelligent transportation systems that can detect WW drivers, alert the WW drivers of their error via signs, and notify the traffic management center (TMC). However, since there is not a TxDOT standard specification for WWD detection systems nor a standardized testing mechanism to assess system performance, TxDOT personnel are often unaware of the benefits and limitations of systems prior to activation in the field. This results in systems not functioning as expected, high false-alarm rates, and increased workload for agency staff. In addition, TxDOT district staff are continually asked to install and test a variety of emerging WWD detection systems.
