Book Synopsis The Safety Impacts of Increasing the Speed Limit to 70 MPH in the State of Wisconsin by : Kirsten L. Brose
Download or read book The Safety Impacts of Increasing the Speed Limit to 70 MPH in the State of Wisconsin written by Kirsten L. Brose and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration determined in May 2014 that the social and economic burden of vehicle crashes in 2010 cost the United States $836 billion dollars (1). Several factors play a role in this price tag, one of which is speed. The United States has undergone several significant nationwide modifications to speed limit restrictions throughout its history. These changes include the 1974 National Maximum Speed Law which mandated a top posted speed of 55 mph, the 1987 Surface Transportation and Uniform Relocation Act which allowed states to increase speeds to 65 mph and the 1995 National Highway System Designation Act which gave speed limit authority back to individual states. Today, only 7 states maintain a 65 mph speed limit (including Hawaii which has the nation's lowest maximum speed limit at 60 mph). Some states increased posted highway speeds to as high as 80 mph, including Texas which now has posted speed limits as high as 85 mph. On May 20, 2015, Wisconsin became the last Midwestern state to increase posted speed limits on select Interstate highways to 70 mph. The first changes occurred on 14 select roadway segments across the state, and since then, several other segments of Interstate highway have been increased as well. The increase in speed limit has brought with it great concern that the higher speeds will correlate to more dangerous high speed driving, higher incident rates, greater fatalities on the roadway and an overall more dangerous driving environment. Through the application of two WisTransPortal web applications; the MV4000 crash database and the VSPOC (Volume, Speed and Occupancy) Traffic Detector database these concerns were evaluated by analyzing incidents, traveled speeds and roadway volumes. The posted speed limit increase occurred in mid-June of 2015 across the state of Wisconsin. Therefore, the analysis of this research focused on data from July through December of the calendar years 2005 to 2015. This allowed for 14 years of data prior to the increase in speed limit to be compared to the most recent one year of data post speed limit increase, maintaining the same monthly duration to allow for consistency. The research looked at comparing total incidents occurring on the 14 routes, as well as fatal incidents, alcohol related incidents and speed related incidents. The presumption that a 5 mph posted speed limit increase directly correlates to a 5 mph operating speed increase was also evaluated. This analysis was performed by randomly selecting eight days throughout the year and comparing the average operating speed before and after the June 2015 posted speed limit increase. Additionally the two datasets were combined to study incidents per thousand vehicles on the roadway. In the first five months after the posted speed increase to 70 mph, it was determined that the higher speed limit did not show a statistically significant increase in the total number of incidents occurring on the segments of roadway increased to 70 mph. Additionally, those routes showed an increase in operating speed of 1.5 mph, well below the posted speed limit increase of 5 mph. Incidents per thousand vehicles on the roadway was also statistically lower in 2015, when the posted speed was increased to 70 mph. As of January 1, 2016, it can be concluded that the increase in posted speed limit to 70 mph has not led to a greater number of crashes on the Interstate highways in the state of Wisconsin. Additionally, average operating speeds have increased by 1.5 mph, well below the 5 mph posted speed increase.

Book Synopsis Operational Impacts of Median Width on Larger Vehicles by : Douglas W. Harwood
Download or read book Operational Impacts of Median Width on Larger Vehicles written by Douglas W. Harwood and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2000 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis report will be of interest to officials and staff of municipal, regional, and statewide transportation agencies responsible for roadway design and traffic control. It will be of special interest to those concerned with intersections and driveways on divided highways where larger vehicles encounter narrow medians. It will also be of interest to other professionals who interact with these agencies to mitigate such problems. This report presents state-of-the-practice information about current median design policies and practices, describes the traffic operational and safety problems encountered in designing for larger vehicles at divided highway intersections, and identifies alternative improvement techniques that can be used in new construction or reconstruction projects to avoid introducing traffic operational and safety problems. This TRB report focuses on 10 alternative cross sections widely used on arterial highways in urban, suburban, and rural environment.

Book Synopsis The Economics of Railroad Safety by : Ian Savage
Download or read book The Economics of Railroad Safety written by Ian Savage and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American public has a fascination with railroad wrecks that goes back a long way. One hundred years ago, staged railroad accidents were popular events. At the Iowa State fair in 1896, 89,000 people paid $20 each, at current prices, to see two trains, throttles wide open, collide with each other. "Head-on Joe" Connolly made a business out of "cornfield meets" holding seventy-three events in thirty-six years. Picture books of train wrecks do good business presumably because a train wreck can guarantee a spectacular destruction of property without the messy loss of life associated with aircraft accidents. A "train wreck" has also entered the popular vocabulary in a most unusual way. When political manoeuvering leads to failure to pass the federal budget, and a shutdown is likely of government services, this is widely called a "train wreck. " In business and team sports, bumbling and lack of coordination leading to a spectacular and public failure to perform is also called "causing a train wreck. " A person or organization who is disorganized may be labelled a "train wreck. " It is therefore not surprising that the public perception of the safety of railroads centers on images of twisted metal and burning tank cars, and a general feeling that these events occur quite often. After a series of railroad accidents, such as occurred in the winter of 1996 or the summer of 1997, there are inevitable calls that government "should do something.
