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.
