Research Pays Off: Low-Cost Approach to Reducing Crashes on Multilane Undivided Highways in Louisiana
The latest edition of Research Pays Off examines how the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) developed a tool to lower the incidences of rear-end crashes on four-land undivided highways in the state. Researchers developed crash modification factors (CMF) unique to Louisiana to determine benefit–cost relationships through estimates of the effectiveness of roadway improvements in reducing crashes and crash severity.
