Safety Analyst is a state-of-the-art analytical tool for making system-wide highway safety decisions. Often advertised as a companion to Part B of the Highway Safety Manual (HSM), Safety Analyst automates all the steps in the roadway safety management process. Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has been preparing for deploying Safety Analyst for the past few years. An important step in implementing Safety Analyst is to train the FDOT district officials on using the software. As such, the specific objectives of this project include: (1) conducting a one-hour session on Engineering Statistics 101 for Safety at the 2015 FDOT Design Expo, and (2) developing and recording a one-hour session providing the overview of Safety Analyst. The one-hour presentation at the 2015 Design Expo provided the background on the traditional and new highway safety analysis methods. It primarily targeted the general audience who are interested in understanding the big picture of the highway safety analysis. The one-hour webinar that was subsequently recorded provided the overview of Safety Analyst, its capabilities, and Florida鈥檚 progress with its deployment. The webinar also included a detailed demonstration of the software using Florida data. |
