摘要: According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), negotiating intersections is one of the most complex and demanding tasks that a driver faces. Data shows that in 2007, approximately 2.4 million intersection-related crashes occurred, representing 40 percent of all reported crashes. Of the 37,435 total fatalities, 8,061 occurred at intersections, equaling 21.5 percent of total deaths (1). Many transportation agencies have developed solutions such as regulatory signs and electronic traffic control signals in an effort to reduce these alarming totals and decrease driver confusion. The Wavetronix?? Smart Sensor Matrix???, a radar stop bar detection system was installed at the intersection of VT 116 and Shelburne Falls Road/CVU Road located at mile marker 5.46 in the town of Hinesburg on June 15 and 16 of 2011. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the overall effectiveness of the proprietary Wavetronix SmartSensor MatrixTM system during varying weather and traffic stream conditions. Site visits were made and data was collected from before and after the installation in an effort to compare crash data and safety conditions. The following report summarizes the construction, performance and observations, and crash data analysis of the intersection.
