Public Safety Awareness Technology Evaluation
Project Information
Project ID:
FHWA-PROJ-20-0027
Project Abstract:
This Interagency Agreement is for a project to identify testbeds and to produce streamlined test protocols to evaluate the effectiveness of public safety awareness technologies that may mitigate and identify exposures associated with trespassers on railroad, transit tracks, and rights-of- way, with a focus of detecting and understanding pedestrian use.
The initial stages of the effort identified technologies that will increase public safety awareness and reduce surface transportation injuries and fatalities. The next stages will identify appropriate testbeds and evaluation approaches to gauge their effectiveness as part of the process to implement these types of technologies nationwide. This initiative is led by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), with participation from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
