Abstract:

The purpose of this conference was to review new safety tools and concepts, highlight current successful university–transportation agency safety partnerships, identify current and potential capabilities to fully utilize these new tools and concepts, and explore collaborative approaches by transportation agencies and universities to improve highway safety. These proceedings consist of summaries of presentations from the general sessions and summaries of key topics discussed in the breakout groups. Through a series of presentations, panels, breakout discussion groups, and poster sessions, conference attendees and panelists considered case studies, research needs, and the challenges and opportunities associated with improving roadway safety. On the basis of expert panels and facilitated discussion, attendees identified promising directions for research that could help implement the state of the practice and advance the state of the art.
