This report documents two efforts to support CDOT in the area of Safety Performance Function (SPF) development. The first involved the data collection and development of SPFs for five categories of ramp terminals at diamond interchanges. The second effort involved estimating the overdispersion parameters for a number of existing SPFs already in use by CDOT for various roadway segment categories.
This study is monitoring the performance of cable guardrail installed in Colorado. The three-year study will gather accident, maintenance, and repair data from sites and build databases to evaluate the data.
CDOT has prioritized the research of select methods to evaluate the performance of the I-25 Gap work zone and future CDOT construction projects. Work zone performance measures provide comparative metrics that quantify the level of impact a work zone has on travelers, residents, businesses and workers. CDOT has identified the need to research and apply performance measures to the I-25 Gap construction project; establishing a foundation to improve the decisions that are made during planning, design and construction for the remainder of the I-25 Gap project and for future CDOT highway construction projects.
