Pedestrian safety is an important public health issue for the United States, with pedestrian fatalities representing approximately 16% of all traffic-related in 2016. Nationwide, transportation agencies are increasing their efforts to implement engineering-based improvements that increase safety. These need statistically rigorous crash modification factors (CMFs) demonstrate effectiveness such countermeasures, and apply benefit–cost analyses justify implementation. This study focused on...
In September 2015, the Virginia Department of Transportation instituted an active traffic management system on I-66 in Northern Virginia. is a major commuter route into Washington, D.C., that experiences significant recurring and nonrecurring congestion. The sought to manage existing capacity dynamically more effectively with hard shoulder running, advisory variable speed limits, lane use control signs, queue warning systems. An initial before-and-after analysis system’s operational...
