This session is a panel discussion with city and county leaders who have invested in predictive safety analysis software. The panel will share their experiences on how time and money invested to do predictive safety analysis has benefited their agency and community. With increased emphasis on data-driven safety over the last several years, state departments of transportation have invested in predictive analysis in a variety of ways. Sometimes, the software can be shared with local partners, but not always. A few larger cities and counties have started to invest in software that will provide them with the data analysis needed to apply for federal and/or state funding. This session will help cities and counties looking for ways to prioritize safety improvements to drive down fatal and serious injury crashes in a way that could also produce opportunities to spread limited local funds even further.
After this session, participants will be better able to:
• Determine if their city/county should invest in predictive analysis software and, if not, what other options are available.
• Communicate the necessity of using predicted analysis to reduce fatal and serious injury crashes (including vulnerable road users).
• Identify challenges the city/county may encounter that predictive analysis can cause or challenges that could be resolved easily.
