The Development of a Cooperative Safety Performance Assessment Framework for Connected and Automated Driving System-Equipped Vehicles

Posted by on November 12, 2019

Sponsor: Institute of Automated Mobility (IAM) through the Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA)

PI: Brendan J Russo

Start Date: August 2019

The rapid development and testing of connected and automated driving system (ADS)-equipped vehicles (CAVs) in our urban communities raises serious concerns for public safety. To address these concerns, the Institute of Automated Mobility (IAM) established by Governor Ducey in Arizona has embarked on an innovative approach to driving safety performance assessment that cooperatively utilizes both infrastructure and vehicle data. Data from… Read more

Analysis of Operational Safety and Efficiency at the Megaregion Scale

Posted by on

Sponsor: Arizona Board of Regents – Research Innovation Fund (Prime: U of A)

PI: Brendan J Russo

Project Start|End Date: 2017 | 2018-12-31

Transportation safety management at the megaregion level is critical for safe and efficient travel across the entire functional region. Even in megaregions contained within a single state, it is important for safety planning officials (at the state, metropolitan planning organization (MPO), county, or municipality level) to consider the safety performance of a megaregion as a whole. This project investigates… Read more
