|
| Project Status: | In Progress | |
| Project Type: |
Operational Test |
|
| Project Description: | The FHWA seeks to implement Cooperative Agreements to demonstrate and evaluate the effectiveness of a combined pedestrian safety engineering, and Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) based area-wide countermeasures program. Phase I of the Cooperative Agreement develops a plan addressing pedestrian safety problem identification and countermeasure selection. Phase II consists of implementing the plan. The intent of the Cooperative Agreement is (i) to demonstrate the effectiveness of the pedestrian safety countermeasures in reducing pedestrian fatalities, injuries, and conflicts, and (ii) to demonstrate the plan's portability to other jurisdictions within the United States. | |
