Summary: | This is a blended training course that features both four hours of independent study and three, two-hour facilitated Web conferences.
This course helps to equip the target audience with the knowledge and skills needed to analyze crash data, identify crash patterns, and select appropriate "low cost" countermeasures. Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to identify appropriate (i.e., cost effective) engineering countermeasures by using the Six-Step Crash Mitigation Process (CMP).
|
Learning Outcomes: | Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
* Identify appropriate engineering countermeasures from crash patterns.
* Select appropriate countermeasures for: 1) Roadside hazards based upon deficiencies in operations or design, 2) Deficiencies in signage, roadway markings, and lighting, and 3) Deficiencies in operation/design of highway intersections.
|
Teaching Method: | The course uses a combination of:
* Three, two-hour live web-conferences, which require access to both a telephone and internet connection to participate
* Four hours of independent, self-paced work completed between the web-conferences.
|
Prerequisites: | In addition to registering for this course in PennDOT's training system, you must ALSO register for the course on NHI's website. Detailed instructions on the NHI registration process will be provided to all TP registered persons approximately two weeks prior to the first scheduled Web conference.
|
Target Audience: | This course is intended for individuals responsible for identifying, recommending, selecting, installing and/or maintaining appropriate low cost countermeasures to help reduce the number of crashes.
