Introduction to Attributes of a Systemic Safety Program and Overview of the Systemic Safety Project Selection Tool: Identify problem, Look for characteristics (e.g., geometry, volume, or location) frequently present in severe crashes, Focus on deploying one or more low-cost countermeasures to address the underlying circumstances contributing to crashes on a majority of roads, Identify locations across the roadway network for implementation. Tool is a step-by-step process for conducting systemic safety planning

Abstract:

The Systemic Safety Project Selection Tool presents a process for incorporating systemic safety planning into traditional safety management processes. The Systemic Tool provides a step-by-step process for conducting systemic safety analysis;considerations for determining a reasonable distribution between the implementation of spot safety improvements and systemic safety improvements;and a mechanism for quantifying the benefits of safety improvements implemented through a systemic approach. The tool is intended for use by transportation safety practitioners in state, county, and local government agencies to plan, implement, and evaluate systemic safety improvement programs and projects that best meet their capabilities and needs.
