Identifying and Prioritizing Target Regions to Conduct Outreach Activities to Improve Safety and Mobility of Aging Population
项目名称: Identifying and Prioritizing Target Regions to Conduct Outreach Activities to Improve Safety and Mobility of Aging Population
摘要: The goal of this research is to develop a geographic information systems (GIS)-based approach, incorporating existing Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) resources, to strategically identify and prioritize specific regions that benefit the most from outreach activities. The research goal will be achieved through extensive data visualization and spatial analyses in ArcGIS. The macroscopic analysis involves aggregating crashes involving aging road users over some geographic areas (e.g., census block groups or Traffic Analysis Zones) and spatially analyzing these crashes with an intent to identify socioeconomic, demographic, land use, and infrastructure-related factors that may contribute to these crashes. The relation between crashes and the built environment will be determined, and this information will be used to identify and prioritize the regions for conducting outreach activities and the type of education material that need to be distributed at these target regions. This approach can shape long-term planning and policy implications in improving the safety and mobility of aging population.
