Measuring Safety Methods and use of new and emerging data sets as they apply to safety (SHRP2, "big" data) Integration and development of microsimulation and other surrogates for safety analysis Serious Injury Assessment in Traffic Crash Investigation and Reporting Exposure Data to Support Improved Truck Crash Risk Estimates Crash Modification Factors for range of pedestrian crossing facilities and entire roadway corridor designs Improving crash severity estimation

Connected/Autonomous Vehicles Understanding the impacts of connected and automated vehicles on safety, including new analysis methods User information acquisition/processing with integrated in-vehicle safety systems Law Enforcement-Specific Issues and Requirements for Investigating Crashes Involving Connected/Autonomous Vehicle Technologies How will autonomous vehicles be integrated into public roadways in a manner that improves rather than detracts from pedestrian and bicycle safety? How motorcycles fit into the future world of connected and autonomous vehicles

Infrastructure Removing Barriers to Roundabout Approval and Installation. Roundabout geometrics with the best safety results considering all modes. Innovative roadway and intersection lighting treatments to improve nighttime pedestrian safety? Allocation of road space between different motorized and non-motorized vehicle types

Behavior Change Use and Benefits of Data to Better Deploy Traffic Law Enforcement Resources Promoting safer motorcycle riding (good gear, unimpaired, good decisions) Understanding the effects of cannabis use on driving Effects of prescription medicines on driving Translating research evidence on effective behavior change programs into widespread practice Leading indicators for measuring safety culture

Operator Education Understanding what and how novice drivers learn during the first months that enables the rapid declines in crash rates then on What individual characteristics and driving conditions explain the variability in driving performance and risk among young drivers? What interventions directed at young drivers, their parents, and licensing policy and practice are effective in reducing teen driving crash risk?

Trucks Strategic Review of Crash Causes and Countermeasures Case Studies of Carrier Safety Advancement Commercial Driver Health and Wellness Programs Impact on Driving Safety

Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Factors that have led to the increase in pedestrian and bicycle fatalities Advancing “objective safety” measures: improved exposure metrics, crash data, and surrogate measures Perceived safety as a barrier to active travel modes and the correlation with objective safety indicators “Safety in numbers” - the correlation of cyclists/pedestrian numbers/km and reduced crash/fatality rates Specific impact of broader roadway safety strategies on pedestrian and bicycle crashes

Safety Management Human Factors - understanding of road users’ capabilities and limitations and how these issues could be incorporated into day-to-day safety decision making Relationship between safety and speed limits Relationship between safety and congestion Inclusion of explicit consideration of safety in all planning and design projects
