Description
Traffic incidents on U.S. roadways put travelers' and responders' lives at risk and account for about
25 percent of all delays. The resulting congestion can lead to secondary crashes, fw:ther increasing
safety risks and economic costs.
An ideal TIM program must rely on efficient data collection, analysis, and reporting to measure
performance and identify where and when it can be improved. However, performance management
through enhanced data collection remains elusive in many jurisdictions that either do not collect TIM
data or collect data for a small percentage of traffic incidents.
Crash data could be used to institutionalize information sharing within and between partner agencies.

This Research Program for the period July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2018 is submitted in compliance with the provisions of Section 307 of Title 23, United States Code, and describes programs and operations for planning activities in the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) and the Kentucky Cooperative Transportation Research Program (KCTRP). This program modifies and updates such programs and is specifically intended to reflect the needs of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. It is fully expected that products from this program will also have national applications.
The University of Kentucky Transportation Center is the main research group for the the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. The SPR grant is the funding the is supplied each year for the many topics the Center is asked to research for KYTC The KCTRP is concerned with the development and conduct of a comprehensive research program in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
In addition to research developed in cooperation with FHWA, the KCTRP may perform other services for the KYTC on a nonparticipating basis. The scope of these services could include activities such as research studies and special investigations of various engineering and operation activities. The Research Program and Implementation Advisory Committee (RPIAC), headed by the State Highway Engineer and coordinated through the Research Coordinator, will give direction to the research program.
