OHS, Kentucky from Above for Traffic Records Improvement

Abstract OHS: Kentucky from Above for Traffic Records Improvement PI: Reg Souleyrette 10/1/2025 - 9/30/2026 Problem Identification: Two important safety features of road data are superelevation and roadside slopes. Currently, Kentucky does not inventory these features systematically. There is also no currently practical way to measure on-road cross slopes to promote drainage and reduce the probability of hydroplaning. To improve the completeness of Kentucky Traffic Records Data by developing a method to measure road superelevation using Kentucky from Above LiDAR data. To improve the completeness of Kentucky Traffic Records Data by developing a method to measure roadside slopes using Kentucky from Above LiDAR data. To improve the completeness of Kentucky Traffic Records Data by developing a method to measure pavement slopes to assure drainage to reduce the possibility of ponding/hydroplaning.
