Traffic Safety Weeks
New
Event: Drive Safely Work Week
Date: October 3-7, 2016
Organization: Network of Employers for Traffic Safety (NETS), National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
 
Driver behavior contributes to 94 out of every 100 traffic crashes in the U.S. according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Research tells us that an important first step toward changing a risky behavior is to begin to think actively about the need to change the behavior.

That's what the 2016 Drive Safely Work Week campaign is about: Raising self-awareness and motivating positive change.

This campaign includes self-assessment tools - one to consider overall driving behavior and another to assess the tendency for excessive daytime sleepiness. The materials will emphasize the importance of healthy sleep habits, as research demonstrates a growing risk associated with fatigued and drowsy driving.

Event: National Teen Driver Safety Week 
Date: October 16-22, 2016
Organization: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
 
Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for 14-18 year olds in the US. In fact, in 2014, there were 2,614 teen (15-19 year old) passenger vehicle drivers involved in fatal crashes and an estimated 130,000 were injured. Yet, a recent survey shows that only 25% of parents have had a serious talk with their kids about the key components of driving. Parents need to take the time to talk with their kids about the many dangers of driving. Those dangers include alcohol, seat belts, texting, speeding, and extra passengers.

Webinars
Webinar: Analyzing Indiana Crash Data to Inform Traffic Safety Policy and Program Development 
Date: September 29, 2016
Time: 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm ET
Cost: Free 
Organization: University of Minnesota, Roadway Safety Institute

Designing and implementing effective data-driven traffic safety policies and programs requires complex approaches to analyzing Indiana crash data and other related data sets. This presentation will discuss applied research methods and highlight research findings that, in partnership with the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI), informed changes in policy and/or legislation in an effort to reduce fatalities and injuries in motor vehicle crashes. Each year, the traffic safety research team at the Indiana University Public Policy Institute collaborates with ICJI to analyze vehicle crash data from the Automated Reporting Information Exchange System, maintained by the Indiana State Police. This ongoing partnership began in 2006. 

Research findings are summarized in an annual series of fact sheets on various aspects of traffic collisions, a publication that provides detailed analyses of crash variables and the geography of Indiana traffic collisions, and traffic safety dashboards for Indiana counties and Indiana State Police post regions. These applied research products serve as the analytical foundation of traffic safety program planning and design in Indiana. These analyses highlight traffic safety problems that assist stakeholders in making recommendations for effective policies and provide necessary information for the state to apply for federal funding to support traffic safety program improvements.

Webinar: Strategies for Implementing Open and Mobile Payment Systems 
Date: October 5, 2016
Time: 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm ET
Cost: Free 
Organization: USDOT ITS Joint Program Office 
 
Americans are changing the way they travel through the use of smart phone applications that enable on-demand transactions for transportation services. According to recent research, ease of payment was the biggest reason that respondents chose on-demand mobility services such as Uber and Lyft over traditional alternatives. For transit agencies the transition to mobile transit payment systems creates opportunities to collect real time data to improve service and efficiency. Currently customer data derived from smart cards is typically downloaded only when buses and trains reach the garage. The world's biggest smartphone companies are heavily invested in building their own  NFC/ EMV payment platforms such as Apple Pay, Google Wallet, and Samsung Pay. It is uncertain how this will ultimately impact the transit industry, as most transit agencies continue to rely on account based proprietary smart card technology.

This webinar will explore all aspects of emerging transit payment systems-as consumer demand and technology innovations drive the transition from traditional transit payment systems to mobile payment systems, from proprietary systems to open non-proprietary payment processes, and from single transit agency to multi-modal payment platforms.

Webinar: Wearable Technologies and Smart Materials: Applications for Transportation and Safety 
Date: October 6, 2016
Time: 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm ET
Cost: Free 
Organization: University of Minnesota, Roadway Safety Institute
 
Wearable technologies for health and wellness, sports and fitness, gaming, and safety have been widely adopted in recent years. These technologies have been enabled by the development of enhanced sensing capabilities. The functionality of future wearables may be further expanded to communicate real-time, safety-critical information via haptic feedback to the wearer. One way of creating these wearable feedback systems is to design multifunctional textile systems, called active textiles. Active textiles incorporate smart materials into textile structures.

This presentation will discuss the design of active textiles, including textile structures (e.g., knit, weave, and stitch) and smart materials (e.g., shape memory alloy, shape memory polymer, electro-active polymer, and piezoelectric). Details related to active knits, a specific active textile, will be presented. The integration of smart materials into textile structures may enable advancements in wearable technologies for transportation and safety.

Webinar: Making the Business Case for Traffic Incident Management Programs 
Date: October 13, 2016
Time: 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm ET
Cost: Free 
Organization: USDOT ITS Joint Program Office 
 
Agencies know intuitively that there is a profound value in traffic incident management (TIM) programs; however, it is often challenging to estimate and communicate the value of TIM internally to executive management and externally to decision makers. Typically, a one-time report presenting an "analysis," "evaluation," or "study" is generated to summarize benefits after a TIM program or project has been implemented. This report, while a key component of a solid business case, is not sufficient to transform a TIM program or project from a stand-alone effort to a core-sustaining function of an agency. To guide TIM agencies and their partner organizations towards the development of a strong business case for their programs, FHWA has developed a report, "Making the Business Case for Traffic Incident Management."

During the webinar, participants will learn about the four-phase process for developing a TIM business case, as well as the key components and products required for an effective business case. Additionally, participants will hear of firsthand experiences from two State DOT representatives on the progression for their rural and urban TIM programs. Participants will learn how these two different DOTs made their business case, the challenges they faced in establishing their program, and the value they found from conducting and communicating their program's business case.

Webinar: Safety in Numbers: Estimating Bicyclist Activity and Safety in Minneapolis 
Date: October 13, 2016
Time: 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm ET
Cost: Free 
Organization: University of Minnesota, Roadway Safety Institute
 
"Safety in numbers" is the phenomenon of an individual vulnerable road user (pedestrian or bicyclist) experiencing a lower risk of being involved in a crash when there are more people walking and bicycling in that area. This seminar will review a study focused on looking for this phenomenon at intersections in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Using a combination of crash data and bicycle and pedestrian count data from 2000-2010, study findings show-with a few different statistical models-the existence of the safety in numbers effect at Minneapolis street-level (non-highway) intersections.
