Group Project Description

There will be two intersections available to study this fall and they will be announced to you. The objective of this study is to prepare a report summarizing your investigation of the site using skills and knowledge learned in this class. The report should make a final recommendation for improvements. Each team will:

  • analyze the given crash data to determine patterns and potential problems, conduct a field investigation of the location, develop potential countermeasures and recommendations prepare a benefit/cost analysis using the Oregon DOT HEP form, and
  • summarize the above in a final report and presentation.

Some of the data that will be available to you are:

  • crash data basic intersection layouts traffic volume data (including some speed for city intersection)
  • digital images of intersection

Project Proposal

A proposal from each group is limited to two pages (typed/word processed). Please include the following:

  • Your names Intersection chosen to study and brief description of intersection geometry and operation.Project methodology, including all anticipated steps and references necessary to complete the project. A schedule is required.Any additional data that you may want or require Brief summary of the documents or methods you will use to identify countermeasures and find references for selected countermeasures
  • Description of your deliverables, including a high-level outline of the final report.

Project Report

Each group will also be asked to submit a report summarizing your project objectives, analysis, and recommendation. The report should be in a professional format and should be brief but indicative of the level of effort. You may turn in a near complete draft early which I will quickly review and send email comments to your group. The report should be professionally formated.
