Course Description:

'' This course aims to increase awareness of the benefits to be gained through the deployment of ITS for highway safety applications. Following a brief introduction, Lesson 2 provides an overview of safety challenges currently facing transportation engineers with particular focus on ten areas in which these challenges can be mitigated using a variety of ITS applications. Discussion of these applications includes a presentation of the nine USDOT ITS Initiatives and their impact on safety. In Lesson 3 deployment of ITS for safety is further illustrated through a case-study (The Big-I Work Zone) in which we see how ITS can be used to produce sound safety benefits in a common hazard. Lesson 4 is focused on fusing the traditional and ITS approaches to develop countermeasures to address safety challenges. Finally Lesson 5 describes the Safety strategic planning process and identifies the basic requirements of the FHWA Rule/FTA Policy for ITS project implementation and a system engineering approach for deploying ITS. Throughout the course a series of “hands on�activities leads participants from identification and prioritization of highway safety priority areas to formulation of organization- and individual-level actions to mitigate the challenges at hand.

Objectives
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:

Describe current status of highway safety, safety challenges and four formal means to identify them.
Exemplify uses of ITS that help improve highway safety.
Discuss the nine USDOT ITS Initiatives.
Explain how ITS can contribute to improved highway safety and traffic operations through a work zone.
Differentiate between the concepts of nominative and substantive safety.
Identify and discuss ITS-supported countermeasures that can be employed to address highway safety priority areas identified in the participants�jurisdictions.
Identify and discuss organizational and individual-level actions to encourage collaboration between the ITS and Safety areas. ...''
