Advanced Driver Assist Systems and Tort Liability
Roadway safety remains contingent on human behavior, but as technological improvements such as Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS) arise in motor vehicles, dependence on the human element should fade. However, human error and impairment remain the leading causes of crashes, and when things go wrong, it is common for those involved to seek damages. Explore the legal challenges associated with ADAS, how they overlap with highway design and how current legal battles will define the role ADAS will or will not have in roadway safety.

Contract Review 101
With skyrocketing insurance costs and out of control civil litigation stifling companies and crushing bottom lines, the importance of fair contract terms is at an all time high. Did you know that the contract your customer gave you is actually negotiable? As an industry of subcontractors and suppliers, ATSSA members often find themselves buried under mountains of lengthy, complex and intimidating contracts accompanied by a 'take it or leave it' attitude from contractor customers. Members have asked and ATSSA is answering. Get the help you need regarding contract review and negotiation, including payment provisions, warranty terms, insurance and indemnification. By learning to combat contractual risk transfer language in your contracts, you can take an affirmative role in controlling claims costs, keeping litigation defense costs down and even make your work more profitable.

Implementing Correct Guardrail Grading
When it comes to installing guardrail, every project offers different challenges and diverse opportunities, and appropriate grading should be an integral part of each installation. Crash testing programs have established that many guardrail products are not one-size-fits-all, and need to be properly installed, inspected and maintained by well-trained personnel. Futhermore, care must be taken to ensure the planning, selection of solutions, application, supervision, installation, and inspection are all well-coordinated among all those working on the project. If any of these steps are not appropriately implemented and followed, the results can be devastating. Don’t let this happen to you! Learn how you can ensure a successful project and avoid preventable issues with grading.

Update on the Rewrite of MASH and DOT Implementation Schedules
MASH was published in 2009, and later updated in 2016 when AASHTO and FHWA released their implementation plan. That plan included sunset dates for all product categories, which have now passed, yet some product categories have not offered MASH-tested products or only have a single product available. States have varied on how they accept (and do not accept) MASH products, and some are still bidding older NCHRP 350 products against MASH products. Recently, work has begun on converting MASH to a specification. Will there be changes to MASH or is this just a conversion? How long will the conversion take? How will this affect current and future MASH hardware? Get the answers to these questions and more in this timely session.

Continuous Pavement Friction Measurement and Pavement Friction Management for Safety
Pavement friction is a critical characteristic of pavement that affects the frequency of all crashes. Measuring, monitoring and maintaining pavement friction, especially at locations such as curves and intersections where vehicles are frequently turning, slowing and stopping, can prevent many roadway departure, intersection and pedestrian-related crashes. Continuous pavement friction measurements (CPFM) combined with crash and roadway data allow agencies to better target pavement friction treatments and reduce the frequency and severity of crashes. Hear about the experiences of three states participating in a comprehensive and strategic effort to advance safety and promote the widespread adoption and eventual institutionalization of pavement friction management using CPFM. This integrated approach supports implementation of the FHWA Safe System Approach and will ultimately lead to fewer deaths and serious injuries on our nation’s roadways.

Traffic Control Signal Removal: Issues and Considerations
MUTCD guidelines indicates that traffic signals should primarily be used only when necessary. Yet sometimes traffic signals are installed when they are not needed, and changing traffic patterns can cause signals that were originally warranted to no longer be useful. These unneeded traffic signals can cause crashes and unnecessary delays, and drain agency resources, however, there is often a reluctance to remove an unneeded traffic signal. Intersection Control Evaluation helps determine if a signal is the best form of control and can be used to justify removal. Find out how to perform a traffic signal removal study in this information-packed session.

Traffic Signal Performance Measures Using Probe Data
Operations-oriented traffic signal performance measures are important for identifying retiming needs and improving traffic signal operations. Currently, most traffic signal performance measures are obtained from high-resolution traffic signal controller event data, which provides information on an intersection-by-intersection basis and requires significant initial capital investment. However, connected vehicles generate over 400 billion vehicle trajectory points each month in the United States. Through several case studies, explore how high-fidelity vehicle trajectory data can be used to produce traffic signal performance measures such as split-failure, downstream blockage, and quality of progression.

Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Best Practices from Arizona
Prior to 2017, Arizona DOT received authorization for approximately $40,000,000 in federal HSIP funding. The money was intended for use on projects that would reduce fatal and serious injury crashes, but was not being used as effectively as possible on locally versus state-controlled roads. To counter this, Arizona DOT began holding statewide competitions in 2017 for HSIP funding of projects with the highest benefit to cost ratios, regardless of who owned the road. Over the past five funding cycles this has resulted in shifting the HSIP funding from state to local roads, but has created other issues. Learn more about the HSIP program, the challenges encountered during the statewide competitions and lessons learned that are being applied to new projects.

How Smart Roadway Workers Use Situational Awareness to Improve Safety
Most roadway workers may know, intuitively, that strong situational awareness is an important aspect of safety. However, many do not understand what situational awareness is, how it is developed and how it can erode while working in high risk, high consequence environments. Compounding the problem is the fact that situational awareness, and the barriers that flaw awareness, are consistently identified as contributing factors in near-miss and casualty reports. Gain a solid understanding of what situational awareness is, how it is developed, how it can wear down and best practices for improving situational awareness and decision making outcomes.

Innovations Abroad
Innovating Streets for People
Nelson South struggled for several years with high volumes of non-residential through traffic. The area had little cohesion as a place for community but rather a poorly designed urban residential area with a low socioeconomic past. In August 2019, the community petitioned to be part of the living street area, which led to a partnership between central government, local council and the community itself. What resulted demonstrates a quick, effective and innovative approach to improving safety in residential areas, with real benefits for our communities. The Journey of Auckland’s Proactive and Innovative Residential Speed Management Find out how Auckland’s Residential Speed Management program proactively prioritized 31% of Auckland’s residential roads for speed-related improvements. The network was divided into 446 areas and analyzed for quantitative and qualitative elements specific to each, which clearly identified communities in need of intervention and areas where different approaches can be taken. To date, speeds have reduced 20-30%, public perception has improved, and local walking and cycling has increased. Discover the program’s three key benefits and walk away with a template for developing speed management plans near you.

Getting Everyone Home: Work Zone Road Safety Audits (RSAs)
The Tampa Bay District of the Florida DOT has implemented regular use of RSAs within active work zones across the District. These audits include a multidisciplinary team comprised of onsite construction inspectors, the contractor, law enforcement agencies, consultant staff and DOT staff, in an effort to improve communication related to active work zones, enhance safety, and allow for an independent review. The District also implemented a procedure to review every work zone plan to ensure the safety of all users is being considered during the design process. These efforts go hand in hand to guarantee both design teams and the contractors are working with one goal in mind: to get everyone home safely.

Work Zone Field Reviews
Work zone field reviews have the potential to improve safety and mobility as well as reduce an agency’s risk. Work zones require many different traffic control devices, such as drums, signs, changeable message signs and pavement markings, and to ensure these devices are placed correctly, agencies complete field reviews to document any issues they see and make sure a corrective action is taken. Discover how several agencies perform work zone field reviews to improve safety and ensure devices are deployed correctly per their specifications and the MUTCD.

Advanced Machine-Learning Algorithms for Monitoring the Degradation of Pavement Markings
Most U.S. transportation agencies restripe their pavement markings based on visual inspection or a fixed schedule, instead of monitoring the retroreflectivity of their markings and restriping when the retroreflectivity drops to a specified threshold. These restriping strategies are not optimum in terms of both efficiency and economy, because on many occasions, markings are restriped before or after the end of their service life, wasting monetary resources and presenting safety issues. Explore a new tool based on advanced machine learning algorithms that can predict the future retroreflectivity of pavement markings without the need for taking regular measurements. Find out how implementation of this tool by state agencies can ensure that pavement markings are restriped timely, while minimizing the potential of under-striping and over-striping.
