The safety analysis process, as part of the FHWA Safety Toolkit, is a systemic process for identifying the factors that can contribute to crashes and implementing effective countermeasures. It is a best practice method that is flexible and can be used to fit your needs. This two-hour training will cover the seven-step process and discuss how it can be applied using two different complementary analysis methods: the traditional site safety analysis and the systemic analysis. Additionally, case studies will be utilized to practice applying the process. | |

KTC Research:
Online Instructional Tools for Motor Carriers
| |
|
Commercial motor carrier customers on Kentucky highways must register and pay taxes for licensing and credentialing requirements. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) provides an online Motor Carrier Portal that offers information and instructions on meeting these requirements, but customers have increasingly resorted to calling the help desk, putting a strain on personnel resources.
KTC researchers used a three-phase approach to determine the feasibility and requirements for instructional videos. Using this approach, KTC successfully developed three priority instructional videos for KYTC including (1) IRP Requirements and Account Creation, (2) KYU Account Creation, and (3) KYU Account Reactivation.
