SnowFlake Expansion Alvin Nieves Rosario Valerie Maier-Speredelozzi Daniel Berman
Agenda • SnowFlake Project • Previous Projects • Studied Areas • Statistics • Vehicles • Roads • Fatalities • Future work
Why compare data? • Look for similarities and differences in safety policies • Learn from past experiences • Adopt policies from each other
SUNflower • Developed in Europe • Compare three countries • Sweden • United Kingdom • Netherlands
SUNflower+6 • Included six countries • Central • Czech Republic • Hungary • Slovenia • Southern • Spain • Greece • Portugal
SnowFlake • Comparison between a US state and a Europe country • Rhode Island • Czech Republic

Fatalities • Measure fatalities for different areas • Types of measurements • Per vehicle miles traveled (VMT) • Per capita • Per motor vehicles • Per area • Per road infrastructure • Total lane length
Road safety features • Measure specific road safety aspect • Types of road safety features • Age groups • Drinking and driving • Motorcycles • Seatbelt use • Road users
Future work • Update current areas • Expand to more areas • States • Countries • Look for factors that ultimately influence road safety in these and other areas
