Development of Crash Modification Factors (17 Project Titles)

Project Information

Project ID:
FHWA-PROJ-13-0115
Project Abstract:

Under development of crash modification factors (DCMF), develop reliable crash modification factors; find new statistical methodologies and improve existing ones; conduct crash modification factors (CMFs) gap analysis, research needs, and stakeholder meetings; determine high-priority national safety concerns and their corresponding focus States for systemic safety improvements and evaluations; and other tasks as required.

Studies include safety evaluation of:

  • Multiple strategies at signalized intersections.
  • Turning movement restrictions at stop-controlled intersections.
  • Horizontal curve realignment on rural, two-lane roads.
  • Edge-Line rumble stripes on rural two-lane horizontal curves.
  • Profiled thermoplastic pavement markings.
  • Cable median barriers in combination with rumble strips on the inside shoulder of divided roads.
  • Red-light indicator lights at intersections.
  • Signalized restricted crossing U-turn intersections.
  • Corner clearance at signalized intersections.
  • Multiple strategies at stop-controlled intersections.
  • Pedestrian countdown signal.
  • Centerline plus shoulder rumble strips.
  • Wet reflective pavement markers.
  • Intersection warning sign.
  • Green T intersection.
  • Enhancing the statistical methods.
  • CMFs workshop.
