  1. High Friction Surface Site Selection Analysis EDC Exchange for Local and Tribal Agencies, June 26, 2014 Photo from High Friction Surface Roads (http://www.highfrictionroads.com/), High Friction Roads is maintained by pavement engineering firm The Transtec Group Scott Davis, PE Thurston County Washington State

  2. Study Objectives Timely • Data Driven Repeatable,Repeatable, Repeatable,Repeatable,Repeatable,Repeatable

  3. Where is Thurston County

  4. Study Methodology http://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/systemic/ Hybrid analysis approach

  5. Study Steps

  6. Step 1 – Network Data Collection Roadway Video Street View GIS Systems Mobility Database Crash Data

  7. Step 2 - Surrogate Selection Skidding/Out-of-Control Driver Actions & Icy Roads 2006-2010 Fatal & Serious Collisions (xx) = Total Fatal & Serious Crashes % = percent skidding related crashes

  8. Step 3 – Facility Type Selection 90% of severe crashes occurred on arterial & collectorroads Arterial & collector roads represent about 33% of network length Wet, Icy and Skidding Crash Review Federal Functional Classification Map

  9. Step 4 – Candidate Site Selection 67 Roads Reviewed 75 Candidate Sites Identified Site Facts 52are on horizontal curves 20are on vertical grades 6 are on curves identified in Horizontal Curve Systemic Analysis

  10. Step 5 – Risk Factor Identification Speed Limit Roadway Classification Intersections Roadway Geometry Traffic Volume Traffic Control Type Shoulder Type Shoulder Width Severe Crashes 20 Intersection Focus List 20 Systemic Curve Focus List

  11. Step 5 – Risk Factor Analysis Pivot Tables Charts Use Speed Limit Chart MS Excel Macros

  12. Step 6 – Risk Factor Analysis Paved Shoulders of 4’ in width are over-represented Paved Shoulders of 8’ in width also have a small over-representation. Speed Limit (on-system roads) vs. Skidding/Out of Control Crashes Use Speed Limit Chart

  13. Step 6 – Risk Factor Analysis Simple Scoring System Higher Confidence in results resulted in highest score Lower Confidence in results resulted in lowest score Served as Guide Only

  14. Step 6 – Risk Factor Analysis 1 Point Factors Traffic Volume Horizontal Curve Posted Speed Limit

  15. Step 6 – Risk Factor Analysis 1/2 Point Factors Shoulder Type and Width Horizontal Curve with on a grade Traffic Volume

  16. Step 7 – Site Rankings Note: Crash totals and rates based on skidding/out of control crash types Vail Lp Rd SE Old Hwy 99 SE Reservation Rd SE

  17. Wrap Up AID Accelerated Innovation Development Program 1st Planned High Friction Installation
