Located in the center of downtown Rome, New York, Fort Stanwix currently experiences several transportation-related issues affecting visitor access to the park and overall visitor experience. As a follow-up to a 2006 Alternative Transportation Study, the goals of this report are threefold: 1) to update the 2006 study's existing conditions report to reflect recent changes that have occurred in and around the park, 2) to evaluate five specific areas of concern to the park, which were identified in the 2006 study, and 3) to identify opportunities to a) address these areas of concern; b) improve visitor experience at the park; and c) strengthen the park's relationship with the city by furthering city and county goals. The five areas of concern to the park are nonmotorized trail connections, vehicular signage and wayfinding, parking, pedestrian access, and shuttle feasibility. Findings for each of these focus areas are summarized.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administ
R505 Discovery Miles 5 050 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The Crash Outcome Data Evaluation System (CODES) is a program facilitated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration as a component of its State Data Program. CODES uniquely uses probabilistic methodology to link crash records to injury outcome records collected at the scene and en route by emergency medical services, by hospital personnel after arrival at the emergency department or admission as an inpatient and/or, at the time of death, on the death certificate. CODES is designed to foster and cultivate crash-outcome data linkage for highway safety applications at the State level, supporting State Highway Safety Offices, State Public Health and Injury Prevention Departments, State Emergency Medical Services Agencies, State transportation departments, and other such agencies; and to facilitate participation in NHTSA coordinated multistate studies using linked data at the Federal level. This document is intended to inform traffic safety professionals, from those in CODES programs to those in the agencies they support, as well as all others interested in traffic safety, on best-practice applications available through linked CODES data.

The Effectiveness of Amber Rear Turn Signals for Reducing Rear Impacts (Paperback): National Highway Traffic Safety Administ The Effectiveness of Amber Rear Turn Signals for Reducing Rear Impacts (Paperback)
National Highway Traffic Safety Administ
R474 Discovery Miles 4 740 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This purpose of this report is to determine the effect of rear turn signal color on the likelihood of being involved in a rear-end crash. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108 allows rear turn signals to be either red or amber in color. Previous work on this subject includes laboratory experiments and analyses of crash data that suggest amber rear turn signals are beneficial. The present study was designed around the concept of "switch pairs" - make-models of passenger vehicles were identified that had switched rear turn signal color, and crash involvement rates were computed before and after the switch.

R474 Discovery Miles 4 740 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This report was one in a series of pedestrian safety synthesis reports prepared for the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to document pedestrian safety in other countries. Australia is a federation of States and Territories, and government responsibilities broadly mirror that in the USA. Local government is responsible for 80 percent of the road network, though the less heavily traveled parts. Australia is highly urbanized (notwithstanding large tracts of sparsely populated land). Almost 40% of the population lives in Melbourne or Sydney, and another 20% in Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide. Australia has been a pioneer of traffic calming in the form of Local Area Traffic Management, particularly in residential neighborhoods. Innovations are evident in the traffic signal area. Puffin crossings with infrared detectors seem promising. Pelican crossings are likely to find ready application, and having them set up for double cycle operations appears to offer benefits. Australia was particularly innovative in developing the "safe routes to school" program, which integrates education, route selection, and engineering treatments to increase pupil safety. Also in development is the "walk with care" program designed for the elderly.

R891 Discovery Miles 8 910 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHYSA) began to evaluate its federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) in 1975. By October 2004, NHTSA had evaluated the effectiveness of virtually all the life-saving technologies introduced in passenger cars, pickup trucks, sport utility vehicles and vans from about 1960 up through the later 1990's. A statistical model estimated the number of lives saved from 1960 to 2002 by the combination of these life-saving technologies. FARS data for 1975-2002 document the actual crash fatalities in vehicles that, especially in recent years, include many safety technologies. Using NHTSA's published effectiveness estimates, the model estimates how many people would have died if the vehicles had not been equipped with any of the safety technologies. In addition to equipment meeting specific FMVSS, the model tallies lives saved by installations in advance of the FMVSS, back to 1960, and by non-compulsory improvements, such as the redesign of mid and lower instrument panels. FARS data have been available since 1975, but an extension of the model allows estimates of lives saved in 1960-1974. The annual number of lives saved grew quite steadily from 1960 to 2002, when most cars and light trucks were equipped with numerous modern safety technologies and belt use on the road.

On February 16, 2012, about 8:15 a.m., near Chesterfield, New Jersey, a Garden State Transport Corporation 2012 IC Bus, LLC, school bus was transporting 25 students to Chesterfield Elementary School. The bus was traveling north on Burlington County Road (BCR) 660, while a Herman's Trucking Inc. 2004 Mack roll-off truck with a fully loaded dump container was traveling east on BCR 528, approaching the intersection. The bus driver had stopped at the flashing red traffic beacon and STOP sign. As the bus pulled away from the white stop line and entered the intersection, it failed to yield to the truck and was struck behind the left rear axle. The bus rotated nearly 180 degrees and subsequently struck a traffic beacon support pole. One bus passenger was killed. Five bus passengers sustained serious injuries, 10 passengers and the bus driver received minor injuries, and nine passengers and the truck driver were uninjured. Major safety issues identified in this investigation were school bus driver fatigue, sedating prescription medications, medical conditions, and commercial driver's license medical examinations; truck driver speed, oversight of overweight commercial vehicles, brake maintenance, and final stage manufacturing air brake system installation; connected vehicle technology; and school bus occupant injuries and school bus crashworthiness.
