Engineering Civil Engineering Highway Safety Plan Observational Seat Belt Survey Traffic Safety Problem Identification National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Ohio Department of Public Safety Traffic safety is a continued concern among numerous agencies in the United States. Traffic safety agencies at the national and state level have made it their priority to decrease the number of traffic related fatalities and injuries each year. In order to see a decrease in the number of traffic related fatalities and injuries each year, grant money is applied to programs that are developed around traffic education, enforcement, engineering, and emergency medical services. These traffic safety agencies coordinate with one another to identify the key traffic related problem areas for which to apply the grant money.After reviewing the applicable criteria for developing the Highway Safety Plan, it was determined that the traffic safety problem identification procedure used to allocated traffic safety resources could be enhanced. Multiple methods were reviewed to analyze the accuracy and efficiency of traffic safety problem identification. These methods were applied to a case study to test the transferability of these problem identification methods. The research team found that the newly developed problem identification methodology may be used at a state level as well as a county level to identify traffic safety problems and problem areas for which resources should be allocated to improve traffic safety. 2021-03-24 English text University of Akron / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1613961199444157 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=akron1613961199444157 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
