A Review of Current State Department of Transportation Practice for Promoting and Documenting the Safety of Field Employees

Creator:

Barlow, Zachary Wesley

Abstract:

State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) are the primary owners of roadway infrastructure in the United States. Many of the employees of state DOTs work on roadway work sites, putting them at disproportionately higher risks of injury or fatality. A review of the literature determined that a combination of policies, standards,...

Improving Safety of the Platform-Train-Interface Through Operational and Technical Mitigation Strategies

Creator:

Anderson, Dylan

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to provide background information and examples of best practices relating to platform-train-interface (PTI) safety. The research and information obtained for this manuscript has been in association with the A-40 project funded by the Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP) of the National Academies. The purpose...

Pedestrian safety at signalized intersections operating the flashing yellow arrow

Creator:

Tuss, Halston

Abstract:

At signalized intersections, pedestrians are considered to be amongst the most vulnerable. When in the crosswalk at intersections without protected left-turn phasing, pedestrians are particularly at risk from left-turning vehicles. Until recently, a wide variety of indications were in use across the US to indicate a permissive left-turn condition to...

Framework for assessing the potential safety performance of construction mechanical and electrical field employees

Creator:

Moghaddam Vahed, Ali

Abstract:

In the field of construction safety, many researchers have worked to create assessment tools. These tools focus on different aspects of construction safety, such as assessing safety climate, safety culture, etc. Although research indicates that the majority of incidents are caused by unsafe behaviors and acts, there are no comprehensive...

Data assessment in Oregon for SafetyAnalyst based on Highway Safety Manual Part B

Creator:

Li, Meng

Abstract:

The author of the Highway Safety Manual (HSM) Part B developed a predictive method for safety management. A software tool for highway safety system analysis called the SafetyAnalyst is developed basing on HSM Part B. The author describes an effort to evaluate the feasibility of SafetyAnalyst in Oregon. Seven sample...

Influence of Bicyclist Presence on Driver Performance during Autonomous Vehilce Take-Over Requests

Creator:

Fleskes, Kayla

Abstract:

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) may have the potential to mitigate a significant proportion of serious crashes which are due to human error or poor decision making behind the wheel. However, there are still many concerns associated with SAE Level 3 AVs that require intervention by a human driver after a take-over...

Driving simulation : a mechanism for understanding driver response to mobile barriers in work zones

Creator:

Swake, Joshua

Abstract:

Highway construction projects require temporary changes in roadway characteristics, such as the number of operational lanes, lane path, lane width, shoulder width, and posted speed limit. These modifications which are often temporary in nature have the potential to impact driving performance. Many research efforts have focused on developing standards to...

Optimal sensor placement for measuring operating speeds through curves on rural two-lane highways

Creator:

Mecham, Megan E.

Abstract:

Operating speed is one of the best performance measures that can tell transportation agencies how well or how poorly the transportation system is functioning. Fluctuating operating speeds often mean there is a design flaw or something about the physical road design that violates drivers' expectations. A primary example of this...

Using the predictive method in the 2010 Highway Safety Manual to identify hazardous intersections in Corvallis, OR

Creator:

Zhou, Yanfen

Abstract:

An intersection, due to its vehicle and pedestrian conflict movements, experiences complex traffic situations that might contribute to crashes. In the city of Corvallis, OR, historically more than 80% of the total crashes have occurred within an intersection or have been designated as intersection-related. It is important to develop a...

The Evaluation of Engineering Treatments for Right-Hook Crashes at Signalized Intersections with Bicycle Traffic

Creator:

Warner, Jennifer Lynn

Abstract:

A right-hook crash is a bicycle-motor vehicle crash between a right-turning motor vehicle and an adjacent through-moving bicycle. This study focuses on right-hook crashes that occur during the latter stage of the circular green indication at signalized intersections with shared right-turn and through lanes. The overall objective was to evaluate...
