  • Rural EMS Driver Safety Research Program Phase 1
    • This project will evaluate the feasibility of (a) gathering baseline data on behavioral crash factors associated with rural ambulance crashes as well as (b) measuring the potential safety benefits of an onboard driving quality feedback systems (QFS) within a rural ambulance fleet.
  • Rural Transportation Research, Development & Accelerated Deployment Technical Proposal
    • Renewal of a cooperative and contractual arrangement between the Western Transportation Institute and the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) to continue efforts toward improving safety and efficiency of rural transportation facilities, enhance the mobility of rural travelers, and conserve the ecological well being of the environment through which those transportation systems move.
  • SHRP II: S02 Proposal: Integration of Analysis Methods and Development of Analysis Plan
    • The objective of the S02 project is to integrate the results of the prior SHRP 2 safety projects and to produce prioritization of research questions and an analysis plan for the data collected from the in-vehicle naturalistic field studies. This project will identify analytical methods necessary to address a set of research questions and delineate the steps involved in obtaining appropriate measures of effectiveness, evaluation factors, and sampling designs of large naturalistic driving data sets.
  • Rural Traveler Information (One Stop Shop) Phase 1
    • The objective of this project is to put a variety of real-time information together in a single web-based location in a user-friendly format. This will provide travelers making a trip in or through rural areas access to current travel information on a route-specific basis, customized for a specific origin and destination, enabling drivers to travel more safely and with a minimum of delay.
  • Advanced Vehicle-Based Countermeasures for Alcohol-Related Crashes
    • To develop and evaluate vehicle-based countermeasures for alcohol impairment
