Software: PLANSAFE: Forecasting the Safety Impacts of Socio-Demographic Changes and Safety Countermeasures
Comment:
Forecasting tool that enables state DOTs and MPOs to account for sociodemographic induced changes and infrastructure changes when forecasting safety impacts. Inputs: Demographic Data: population, travel patterns, infrastructure (residential, commercial, etc.) Crash Data. Outputs: Predictive crash data based on expected changes to population. Requires: Experience using GIS software, statistical modeling, statistical analysis
