Project Title:
  Crash Data Analysis and Engineering Solutions for Local Agencies
Start Date: 7/1/2006
End Date: 12/31/2008
Summary of Project:
  This project will evaluate other states' safety service programs for local agencies and develop a plan to establish a successful Illinois program based upon it; create a searchable database of local roads crashes and locate all crashes; analyze crash data and develop reports useful to local agencies; and provide crash analysis to local agencies, including a list of improvements to reduce the incidence of crashes, when requested.
Objective of Project:
  To develop the tools to allow Illinois' local agencies to plan safety-based highway improvements, i.e., by creating a searchable database of local roads crashes by location; permitting analysis of local crash data and development of reports useful to local agencies; and providing crash analysis to local agencies, including a list of improvements to reduce the incidence of crashes, when requested.
Expected Outcome:
  This research will enable local agencies to construct data-driven roadway improvements to reduce the number and severity of crashes on their system. A searchable local roads database will be created that allows local agencies to locate crashes on rural roads, and analyze and report crash data to develop engineering solutions.
