Ohio
5 Percent Report
1. Introduction:
Section 1401 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (Public Law 109-59) amended Section 148 of Title 23, United States Code, to create a new Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) as one of the Federal Highway Administration's "core" programs. The purpose of the HSIP is to reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries on public roads.
As part of the new HSIP, states are required to submit an annual report describing not less than 5 percent of their highway locations exhibiting the most severe safety needs. The intent of this provision is to raise public awareness of the highway safety needs and challenges in the states.
2. Data:
The crash data used for the 5 Percent Report is calendar year 2003-2005.
Extent of public road coverage
Historically, the Ohio Department of Transportation has focused efforts on locating crash data to the state highway system - Interstate, US, and State Routes. With the goal of reducing fatalities and injury crashes statewide, the current focus has been to locate all crashes statewide regardless of jurisdiction.
The state system (Interstate, US and state routes) contains approximately 20,000 centerline miles of roadway. The local system (county, township, municipal) contains approximately 100,000 centerline miles of roadway. Even though the state system accounts for only about 17% of the centerline miles statewide, it handles an estimated 65% of the annual vehicle miles traveled in Ohio.
For this 5 Percent Report, the analysis was performed on the state system network (Interstate, US and state routes). Currently, ODOT and local safety partners (MPO's the County Engineers, etc.) have prioritized lists for each respective system; however, the current prioritization process for the local system does not necessarily utilize fatalities and incapacitating injuries as the main prioritizing factor for the locations. Ohio will work to ensure all public roads are analyzed using the methodology and guidance specified by FHWA to prepare the August 31, 2009 Five Percent report.
Schedule for upgrading crash data system to full coverage
Ohio will continue to work on developing a comprehensive crash and roadway data system in order to analyze the network from statewide perspective by FY 2009. The Ohio Department of Transportation is currently working with the County Engineers Association, the Department of Public Safety, the 17 metropolitan planning organizations, FHWA, and local governments to ensure that Ohio will be compliant with the August 31, 2009 report submission to include all public roads in the Five Percent Report analysis. This will be accomplished by using FHWA HPMS modeling data, MPO traffic volume model information, and traffic data from the County Engineers on the local system. A project is currently in progress to update the road inventory network and law enforcement agencies and Public Safety are working to ensure all public roadways will be considered for the crash analyses. Currently, traffic volume exposure data is updated and maintained by the Ohio Department of Transportation for all Interstate, United States, and state routes. The state system traffic data will be integrated with the compiled model and actual traffic volume data on the local system for use on the report due August 31, 2009.
Limitations
At the time the 5 Percent Report locations were run and analyzed the most recent crash data available was calendar year 2003-2005. ODOT is working with the Department of Public Safety and other crash data partners to improve the timeliness with which crash data is reported and made available for analysis purposes. Processes will be put in place to utilize the most current crash data available as well as analyze the entire public roadway network and not just the state system.
4. Analysis:
ODOT has developed the Ohio Enhanced Crash Location Identification System (OECLIS) crash analysis software system for identifying high hazard locations combining analysis factors such as crash frequency, rate, severity, the change in the crashes occurring at a location over time, and equivalent property damage only rate. allowing for a comprehensive methodology to determine hazardous locations. OECLIS also allows ODOT to specify minimum crash thresholds, weighting factors, and other input criteria.
Three years of crash data (2003-2005) are used in conjunction with current signal, volume, and road inventory data files associating each location with its specific operating characteristics. Intersection and intersection-related crashes are examined to ensure each crash is identified with the correct priority roadway, cross-road name and log point. OECLIS first reduces the number of locations by comparing the number of crashes occurring at both intersection and section locations with pre-defined threshold values for frequency, creating pre-candidate locations. The intersection threshold is currently specified at 14 and the section threshold is currently specified at 20 crashes. OECLIS calculates the following values for each pre-candidate location:
crash frequency - The number of crashes occurring at a location - (intersection)
crash density - The number of crashes per mile occurring along a section of roadway
crash rate - The number of crashes occurring per million vehicle miles of traveled for a location.
delta-change - The change in the number of crashes over time using the slope of the regression line to determine whether crashes are increasing or decreasing for a location over time.
equivalent property damage only (EPDO) - The cost to society of a fatal crash, injury crash, and PDO crash normalized to a base of 1.0 for a PDO crash. The number of crashes by severity are multiplied by their respective values and then summed to determine a locations EPDO value.
equivalent property damage only rate (EPDO rate) - Uses the standard rate equation with a base of 1 million and substitutes the EPDO value for the number of crashes in the equation.
relative severity index (RSI) - The Relative Severity Index (RSI) represents the relative cost to society of a specific type of crash (head on, rear end, angle accident, etc.). The RSI for a location is the sum of the relative costs per crash divided by the total number of crashes for a location.
At least one of these calculated values must meet or exceed the threshold applicable for its matching criteria in order to remain as a candidate location. OECLIS then determines each location's rank with respect to each categorical value. OECLIS uses the hazard index method to determine overall ranking. A high hazard location list is developed for freeway and non-freeway locations separately. OECLIS calculates a priority index value for each location. ODOT specifies the weight given to the six categories to be included as factors for the final priority index calculations. The values for each location and method selected are multiplied by their corresponding weight value. Those products are then summed, giving the priority index value for that location. The resulting priority index values of all locations are then sorted to determine the priority hazard index rank for all location candidates.
From the 500 location high crash listing that is output (100 intersections, 400 sections), the intersections and sections were then ranked based on fatalities and incapacitating injuries. An equation was developed for the combination of the fatalities and incapacitating injuries = 2*(# of fatalities) + (# of incapacitating injuries). Since Ohio's Strategic Highway Safety Plan has a goal of reaching 1.0 fatality per 100 million vehicle miles of travel, the fatalities were given a weighting of two times that of an incapacitating injuries. From this ranked list the top 5 Percent most severe safety needs were reported based on the combination factor of fatalities and incapacitating injuries or a total of 25 locations.
Limitations
The analysis performed using 3 years worth of crash data to perform the analysis. Since this Five Percent Report targets fatalities and incapacitating injuries, which tend to be less concentrated than overall crashes, including additional years for the crash analysis will be considered for future Five Percent Reports. The analysis process to develop the candidate list of locations attempts to eliminate the potential for one factor to skew the resultant locations set by factoring in and weighting 5 proven highway safety crash analysis factors (rate, frequency, severity, etc.). ODOT attempted to address the concern by aggregating and weighting the fatalities times 2 and adding the incapacitating injuries for the output locations. This methodology will be reviewed and updated both from ODOT's internal analysis and as FHWA prepare additional guidance for the states.
