STAC Tool Development – EAR Projects
Creation of the SHRP2 Safety Task Force
• Safety Task Force met in March 2014– Rudy Malfabon, Director, Nevada DOT, chair– Sandra Larson, Iowa DOT, vice chair
• Multi-disciplinary team across AASHTO Committee structure
• Liaisons from FHWA and TRB• Proposed framework for implementation and
identified several research priorities
6
IAP Approach for Safety
• FHWA, AASHTO are pursuing a phased approach to reduce risk and cost to states
• States accept responsibility to manage research, implement findings
• States encouraged to partner with researchers, particularly ones with IRB process
• States must deliver the authorized research
• If the concept phase is successful, in-depth research phase with a large data set may be authorized – Goal is to ultimately develop safety countermeasures
• 30 applications received!

Safety Data, Phase 1
• Approach recommended by NRC committee• Objectives:
– Provide oversight and technical guidance– Promote conditions for data availability– Gain experience to support decisions for post-Phase 1– Support transition to Phase 2, as appropriate
• Status:– Executed MOU: FHWA, AASHTO, NHTSA, TRB; lays out
governance and management– Negotiating cooperative agreement : FHWA and TRB;
provides funding, statement of work 8
Safety Data Committees• Safety Data Oversight Committee (not established)
– Leaders from sponsors, user groups, information tech– Strategy, budget, work plans; data sharing policy; study and
evaluate data access methods and institutional structures; identify decisions regarding future phases, coordinate among partners, users and contractors
• First Expert Task Group (established and met)– Highway safety, computer science, big data, spatial
information, data sharing, statistical protection of identity– Draft SOWs for contractors; give input on performance
measures, tools, user activities emerging technologies, ...9
