General Information

Summary:
This course is a one-day instructor-led workshop that provides hands-on training in the comprehensive examination of sensitive roadway locations to diagnose safety concerns. The diagnostic procedure is a critical part of the roadway safety management process, because problems of this nature can only be fully solved once their underlying causes are identified. Safety diagnosis involves a systematic process of analyzing data, reviewing supporting documentation and assessing field conditions, so agencies can select the best countermeasures to address concerns.

Learning Outcomes:
The objective of the workshop is to help practitioners understand the safety management process, diagnose safety problems, and select appropriate countermeasures. By the end of the course, participants should be able to:
• Define the role of safety diagnosis in the roadway safety management process
• Describe the importance of proper safety diagnosis
• Understand common challenges in safety diagnosis and techniques to overcome them
• Analyze safety data using summary statistics, collision diagrams and condition diagrams
• Explore various forms of supporting documentation
• Plan and conduct a field assessment
• Select appropriate countermeasures based on the diagnosis

Teaching Method:
Instructor-led
