Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This SHSP is a tool to assist in achieving the goal of significantly reducing the number of traffic-related deaths and disabling injuries in Kansas. The Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) has an existing Highway Safety Plan (impaired driving, occupant protection, data improvement, and other behavior programs) and a Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) (roadway infrastructure and highway- railroad crossing safety). The Kansas Highway Patrol maintains the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (commercial driver and vehicle safety). This SHSP includes, builds upon, and integrates these programs in reducing fatalities and incapacitating injuries on Kansas roadways and contains performance-driven strategies that focus the limited highway safety resources toward this common goal"--Page 9

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) established a training program for federally funded highway projects. The authority to implement and monitor training is found in 23 CFR, Part 230.111 and Executive Order 11246, as amended. The KDOT selects certain projects with training opportunities for minorities and women and other disadvantaged persons. These projects will have a bid item for training hours and include special Provision 90M-0021-latest revision. The primary objectives are to maintain a pool of qualified construction workers and to correct the historical shortage of minorities and women in the skilled craft areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A strategic highway safety plan is a coordinated and informed approach to reducing highway fatalities and disabling injuries on all public roads. ... Some people call those events "accidents." We don't. In the word "accidents," there's an insinuation that such events are unavoidable. They're not. Their number can be - must be - reduced. ... The number of fatal crashes has fallen in recent years, both in Kansas and the nation. The fatality rate, the number of fatalities per mile driven, has also dropped. Part of the credit for the decline belongs to highway departments. They've worked for decades to make roadways safer, installing rumble strips to keep drivers in their lanes and engineering shoulders and adjacent spaces for those who leave it. Part of the credit goes to vehicle manufacturers and their introduction of such advances as air bags, safety belts and anti-lock brakes. Finally, drivers themselves have taken more personal responsibility. More are buckling up and fewer are driving drunk. Yet this stark fact remains: Between 2005 and 2009 in Kansas, 2,083 people took the last drive of their lives."--Introduction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A strategic highway safety plan is a coordinated and informed approach to reducing highway fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads. ... Some people call those events "accidents." We don't. The word "accidents," implies such events are unavoidable. They're not. Their number can be - must be - reduced. ... In 2009, we established a goal to cut fatalities and serious injuries in half by 2029. With a five-year average of 417 fatalities, the goal was to be at or below 208 fatalities by 2029. In 2017, the five-year average was 396. We saw record low years in 2013 and 2015, only to see fatalities reach 461 in 2017. This pattern was seen nationally as well. However, we did see a significant drop in serious injuries in less than 10 years. The five-year average in 2009 was 1,762, and the goal was to be at or below 881 by 2029. In 2017, the five-year average was 1,211. It is difficult to understand the difference between fatality trends and serious injury trends, but the latter is certainly an encouraging sign. It is also encouraging to note that fatalities and serious injuries have dropped since 2009 even as traffic volumes have continued to increase statewide. This means the fatality rate, the number of fatalities per mile driven, has also dropped. Part of the credit for the declines belongs to highway departments. They've worked for decades to make roadways safer, installing rumble strips to keep drivers in their lanes and engineering shoulders and adjacent spaces for those who leave them. Part of the credit goes to vehicle manufacturers and their introduction of such advances as air bags, seat belts and anti-lock brakes. Finally, drivers themselves have taken more personal responsibility. More are buckling up and "one for the road" is no longer acceptable."--Introduction.

Download or read book Calibration of the Highway Safety Manual and Development of New Safety Performance Functions for Rural Multilane Highways in Kansas written by Sunanda Dissanayake and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rural roads account for 90.3% of the 140,476 total centerline miles of roadways in Kansas. In recent years, rural fatal crashes have accounted for about 66% of all fatal crashes. The Highway Safety Manual (HSM) provides models and methodologies for analyzing the safety of various types of highways. Predictive methods in the HSM were developed based on national trends and data from sample states throughout the United States. However, these methodologies are of limited use if they are not calibrated for individual jurisdictions or local conditions. The objective of this study was to analyze the HSM calibration procedures for rural multilane segments and intersections in Kansas. The HSM categorizes rural multilane segments as four-lane divided (4D) and four-lane undivided (4U) segments, and rural multilane intersections as three-legged intersections with minor-road stop control (3ST), four-legged intersections with minor-road stop control (4ST), and four-legged signalized intersections (4SG). The number of predicted crashes at each segment was obtained according to the HSM calibration process. Results from calibration of rural segments indicated that the HSM overpredicts fatal and injury crashes by 50% and 65% and underpredicts total crashes by 48% and 64% on rural 4D and 4U segments, respectively. The HSM-given safety performance function (SPF) regression coefficients were then modified to capture variation in crash prediction. The adjusted models for 4D and 4U multilane segments indicated significant improvement in crash prediction for rural Kansas. Furthermore, Kansas-specific safety performance functions were developed following the HSM recommendations. In order to develop Kansas-specific SPFs, Negative Binomial regression was applied to obtain the most suitable model. Several additional variables were considered and tested in the new SPFs, followed by model validation on various sets of locations. The Kansas-specific SPFs are capable of more accurately predicting total as well as fatal and injury crashes on multilane segments compared to the HSM and the modified HSM models. In addition to multilane segments, rural intersections on multilane highways were also calibrated according to the HSM methodology. Using crash modification factors for corresponding variables, SPFs were adjusted to obtain final predicted crash frequency at intersections. Obtained calibration factors indicated that the HSM is capable of predicting crashes at intersections on rural multilane sections at satisfactory levels. Findings of this study can be used for improving safety of rural multilane highways in the state of Kansas.
