Current State of Highway Safety Education: Safety Course Offerings in Engineering and Public Health
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: There is a need to investigate educational offerings in highway safety available through engineering, public health, and injury prevention programs at universities in the United States. A series of surveys was distributed ...
Estimation of the Safety Effectiveness of Lane and Shoulder Width: Case-Control Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: There is a need to better understand and quantify the safety implications of geometric improvements and countermeasures. A commonly accepted measure of safety effectiveness is the crash modification factor (CMF) defined ...
Statistical Designation of Traffic Control Subareas
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A method for identifying control subareas in traffic signal networks has been developed and tested with data from the Miami, Florida, business district. The procedure combines the use of cluster and discriminant analysis ...
Coordination of Actuated Arterial Traffic Signal Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Coordinated timing plans may be developed for actuated signal systems but all existing optimization methods require that each actuated signal be converted to its nearest equivalent pretimed unit. Using bandwidth maximization ...
