Book Synopsis Identifying and Implementing Corridor Safety Improvements by : Jerome P. Breyer
Download or read book Identifying and Implementing Corridor Safety Improvements written by Jerome P. Breyer and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper explores Arizona's ability to adopt the FHWA Corridor Safety Improvement Program (CSIP) model and adapt it to work within the institutional, jurisdictional, resource, and funding framework of Arizona. The results of the project indicate that: 1) ADOT is only one of several state agencies that have a hand in promoting and providing highway safety; 2) All agencies that endeavor to improve highway safety should collaborate and focus on high-risk corridors to effectively develop multi-objective action plans and implement the most appropriate countermeasures; 3) The identification of high risk spots and corridors can be greatly assisted using contemporary Geographic Information Systems (GIS) spatial analysis tools and the Accident Location Identification Surveillance System (ALISS) crash database; and 4) The ADOT photo log and Global Positioning System (GPS)-derived corridor centerline files add a unique level of comprehension of safety problems by showing signing/striping/guardrail conditions in plan and profile views overlain with the ALISS crash history and a link to a photo log image of the roadway.
Book Synopsis Comparative Case Studies of Corridor Safety Improvement Efforts by : Jack D. Jernigan
Download or read book Comparative Case Studies of Corridor Safety Improvement Efforts written by Jack D. Jernigan and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1988, following a series of fatal crashes on U.S. Route 322, Pennsylvania's governor directed Pennsylvania's secretary of transportation to develop immediate, short-term measures to improve safety on the roadway. In response, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) led a multidisciplinary team that developed a fourteen-point safety plan for the corridor. PennDOT immediately declared the initiative a success and implemented similar efforts statewide. The Federal Highway Administration heard about these programs, named Corridor Safety Improvement Programs (CSIPs), and encouraged other states to use them. Following Pennsylvania, numerous states, including Virginia and California, developed CSIPs. Further, in 1997, a series of fatal crashes on U.S. Route 28 in Virginia led to Virginia's governor directing Virginia's secretary of transportation to improve safety on the roadway, as had happened in Pennsylvania. This study investigates these safety efforts to determine the factors associated with effectiveness. The researcher presents model guidelines for developing effective corridor safety programs.
Book Synopsis Corridor Management by : Kristine Williams
Download or read book Corridor Management written by Kristine Williams and published by Transportation Research Board. This book was released on 2000 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis report will be of interest to department of transportation administrators and transportation planning, right-of-way, economic development, and environmental planning staffs, as well as to the consultants that work with them. It would also appeal to regional and local government officials and staff, as well as to the private sector. It summarizes information about corridor management policies and programs at the federal, state, and local levels. An effort was made to select a diversity of methods and programs for the broadest treatment of the subject. The synthesis focuses more on roadway corridors than on transit or greenway corridors, but much of the information provided is relevant to any corridor management effort. This report examines state policies and programs, techniques applied, and coordination issues. A series of case studies provides more detailed study. This report of the Transportation Research Board documents successful partnerships. It presents examples of transportation agencies working together, proactively, with local governments and other stakeholders to achieve more cost effective and comprehensive solutions to transportation problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Symposium on Effective Highway Accident Countermeasures was held in Washington, D.C., on June 12-14, 1990. The Symposium was hosted by the Federal Highway Administration in cooperation with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The Symposium's objectives were to identify the most effective and practical short-term (within 2 years) countermeasures to highway accidents and to develop strategies for their implementation. The Symposium focused on five areas of highway safety: improving pedestrian safety, reducing accident severity, improving driver performance and control, improving commercial motor vehicle safety, and identifying and improving highway corridors. This publication summarizes the presentations and workshop reports.

Book excerpt: "The needs for a comprehensive synthesis of Safety Corridor programs throughout the nation was expressed by states in the Midwest in order to more effectively implement programs and select pilot corridors in the respective states. Information was gathered from 12 surveyed states that currently have some type of Safety Corridor program. The 12 states include Alaska, California, Florida, Kentucky, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington. Members of each state DOT as well as FHWA divisions were contacted and interviewed about their respective programs."--(p.ii)

Download or read book Managing and Organizing Comprehensive Highway Safety in Europe written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective development and implementation of a roadway strategic safety plan typically require the coordination of a variety of safety elements, funding sources, and people. The Federal Highway Administration, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and National Cooperative Highway Research Program sponsored a scanning study of Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom to investigate management and organization of comprehensive highway safety programs. The U.S. delegation observed that the countries view highway safety as a public health or quality of life issue and base safety decisions on a common philosophy. The countries take a proactive approach to highway safety that includes a fully integrated and nationally accepted plan with measurable fatality and injury reduction targets. The scanning team's recommendations for U.S. application include developing a national safety plan with achievable safety improvement targets, creating a safety performance incentive program, and implementing a demonstration project involving corridor or area-wide safety improvements.
