Effects of Traffic Enforcement on Other CrimeSUNDAY • 4:00PM – 5:00PM ROOM 501/502

Communities are confronted with many public safety challenges: fromhomeland security and violent crime, to illegal drugs and unintentional injuries.Law enforcement resources are being stretched thin in an attempt to dealwith these issues. Traffic enforcement has been given a lower priority in manycommunities despite the fact that traffic crashes result in more deaths, injuriesand societal costs. Specific traffic enforcement strategies, such as frequentand highly publicized sobriety checkpoints are effective in reducing impaireddriving. Sobriety checkpoints not only result in arrests for impaired driving,but often yield arrests for stolen vehicles, illegal firearms, outstanding warrantsand drug violations.

Finding Direction for Safety Investments in Local Roads: System Diagnostics and Countermeasure FocusAuthor: Kimberly Vachal, North Dakota State University

In cooperation with the state transportation department, local road crasheswere analyzed to help counties and towns focus efforts to reduce crashdeath and injury. Local rural roads have the highest injury crash incidencein North Dakota – accounting for only 21% of travel and 49% of seriouscrashes. Local roads crashes were determined to differ significantly incontributing factors and characteristics compared to other rural roadscrashes in the state. A study of crash data quantified factor magnitude inpredicting injury crash likelihood considering driver and road factors.Driver behaviors, including impaired driving and seat belt use, had thelargest role in likelihood for injury outcomes. Intersections and unpavedroad surfaces were found to be most significant in increased likelihoodfor injury outcomes among the road factors. Findings provide insight forpolicy decisions and systematic investments; and for more effectivedecisions at the local level to improve road safety.

Preventing Injury to our Environment – What is our Role?Author: May Romo, Salt Lake Valley Health Department

Over the last 15 years 1,500,000 car seats have been checked and manyreplaced due to expiration, unknown history, involved in a crash or nolonger useable. Safe Kids data indicates that over 22,000,000 people havebeen reached and over 550,000 new car seats have been distributed. Whatwe need to ask ourselves is what happens to the discarded car seats? Arethey being disposed of in the landfills where they may take up to 1,000years to decompose due to the various plastics or are we practicing beingbetter stewards of our environment? We work passionately to savechildren’s lives by educating parents on the appropriate use of car seats,but, what is our responsibility and our role as injury prevention educatorsto work just as passionately to save the environment?

Evaluation of Light-Vehicle Driver EducationPrograms on Sharing the Road with HeavyVehiclesAuthors: William A. Schaudt, MS, MBA; Stephanie Baker,MPA; and Tammy Trimble, PhD, Virginia Tech Transportation Institute

Light-vehicle driver education programs that contain content about heavy-vehicle operation may be helpful in reducing light-vehicle/heavy-vehicleinteractions. This three-phased research program was sponsored by theNational Surface Transportation Safety Center for Excellence (NSTSCE).Phase I surveyed light-vehicle driver education programadministrators/teachers in each state in the U.S. to assess the presence ofcurricula relevant to heavy-vehicle characteristics and procedures forsharing the road. Phase II investigated current light-vehicle driver educationprograms that contained components on sharing the road with heavyvehicles and developed a best practices document. In addition, a casestudy was executed to evaluate a light-vehicle driver education programin a single state that did not yet include the components identified in thebest practices. The purpose of Phase III is to develop a web-based toolutilizing naturalistic driving videos to provide tips for sharing the roadwith heavy vehicles.

Better Tween Passengers … Safer Teen DriversAuthor: Susanne Ogaitis-Jones, MSPH, CHES, CPST, –Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Services

The behavior of youth ages 10-15 (‘Tweens’) is influenced by many factorsincluding peers, parents and the media while parents say they areinfluenced by medical providers on car safety. Tweens often do riskythings in cars such as distracting the driver, not wearing their seat belt,unsafe seating, and riding with unsafe drivers. This intervention hasemergency nurses educate tweens to decrease their in-and-around-carsrisky behavior. The larger goal of the intervention is to lower the risk ofa vehicle crash and subsequent injuries to youth, both for when the youthare passengers and for when they become drivers. A variety of strategiesare used in the 2 hour intervention: videos, role plays, hands-on exercisesand games, and parent & child pledging. This poster will summarize thetraining and the results from field-testing.

Community Regulation of Alcohol Availability:Evidence of Effectiveness and Challenges forImplementationAuthors: Kathryn Stewart and LisaMarie Miramontes,Prevention Research Center

Regulation of the availability of alcohol has been found to be a very importantfactor in alcohol impaired driving, as well as other alcohol related problems.Such factors as minimum purchase age for alcohol, the density and locationof alcohol outlets, alcohol service and sales practices, and hours and daysof sale of alcohol have all been found to be related to impaired driving.Recent research has added to knowledge about the potential for regulatorystrategies to reduce alcohol impaired driving, giving communities additionaltools for preventing alcohol related harm. This poster will summarize recentfindings about alcohol regulation as related to impaired driving and willdescribe efforts to disseminate and facilitate the use of this information atthe community level. It will also describe some of the barriers toimplementation of alcohol regulatory strategies. In particular, it will focuson an ongoing dissemination and education project working withcommunity agencies and organizations in a sample of cities in California

SAFE: Seatbelts Are For EveryoneAuthors: Norraine Wingfield and Laura Moore, Kansas DOT,Kansas Traffic Safety Resource Office

In a 2009 Kansas Observational Survey only 61% of teens 15-17 years ofage wore their seatbelt. The SAFE program was implemented and consistedof a partnership between students, law enforcement and safety advocates.This student driven program consists of educational programming onsafety messages such as seatbelt use, distracted driving, underage drinkingalong with observational seatbelt surveys, pledge cards, rewards and targetedenforcement. Since beginning the program in 2009 it has grown from onecounty and 6 schools to 42 counties and 102 schools. The state seatbeltuse has increased from 61% in 2009 to 78% in 2012.

Buckling up Our Tribal Communities and NeighborsAuthors: Christine Reede and Alejandro Benally, San Carlos Tribal Police Department; Tim Shelhamerand Jon Peabody, Indian Health Service

In 2012, the San Carlos Apache Tribe became the fifth Indian Tribe inArizona to pass a primary occupant restraint law more stringent than theState’s secondary law. A 3-month enforcement grace period followingenactment of the law provided the San Carlos Police Department (SCPD)a transition period to ready itself and the public for enforcement of thenew law. Grace period activities included: notify and educate the publicregarding the new law and the importance of occupant protection, trainSCPD staff, and issue only warning citations for violations. After the graceperiod, full enforcement of the law began. Observed seat belt use increasedinitially during the grace period and increased more after full enforcementbegan. The increased seat belt use is encouraging even as fewer citationswere issued than expected. Maximizing the effectiveness of the law’senforcement is critical to sustain increased occupant restraint use.

The Use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)by Motorcyclists in FloridaAuthor: Chanyoung Lee, Center for Urban Transportation Research

Unlike auto or truck, motorcycle provides a minimum protection in trafficcrash and motorcyclists usually separate from the motorcycle at sometime during a crash. Therefore, it is critical for a rider to have properpersonal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize the level of injurywhen the rider is involved in a crash. PPE includes Federal Motor VehicleSafety Standard (FMVSS) 218 compliant helmets, a heavy-duty jacket,pants, boots, gloves, and eye protection. To promote the use of PPE, it isdesirable to assess the actual use by motorcycle riders in an effective andefficient manner. The study compared the advantages and disadvantagesof three different methods: motorcycle rider survey, crash data, andobservational survey. The result of PPE use from three methods werepresented and discussed.

Vehicle Dynamic Motion Control to MitigateSecondary CollisionsAuthors: Byung-joo Kim and Huei Peng, The University of Michigan

In vehicle to vehicle crashes, even a light collision between vehicles canlead to devastating consequences if a driver does not make a properjudgment after an unexpected impact. Electronic Stability Control (ESC)was shown to have positive effects on reducing single vehicle accident;however, its effect on reducing the secondary crash has not been fullydeveloped. The objective of this study is to develop a post-impact vehiclestability control system that regulates both heading angle and lateraldeviation from an original driving path, so that the severity of possiblesubsequent crashes can be reduced. To characterize the vehicle motionafter a crash event, an impact force estimation method and a vehiclemotion prediction scheme are proposed. If the predicted heading angleis undesirable, and/or a large lateral deviation is expected, then properdifferential braking action will be taken to drive the vehicle motion to adesired state. The poster will show simulation and analysis results of theproposed state estimation and prediction algorithm, in addition to controlalgorithm results.

Pedestrian Behaviors Contributing to Collisionsin GeorgiaAuthors: Lauren Littleton, BA; Carol Cotton, PhD; and JamesBarlament, MA, Traffic Safety Research and Evaluation Group,UGA College of Public Health

The purpose of this study is to understand how pedestrians use crosswalkswhen crossing the street and how their behavior contributes to pedestrian-vehicle collisions. Georgia has the 9th highest pedestrian fatality rate inthe U.S., and traffic crashes and fatalities involving pedestrians areincreasing. Data was gathered from a review of literature on pedestrianbehaviors in different crosswalk types and on law-breaking behaviors

regarding crosswalks. Traffic crash statistics from the Georgia Departmentof Transportation (GDOT) were also analyzed. Results showed thatapproximately 40% of pedestrian-vehicle collisions occur when peoplecross the street midblock, 11% occur when people are walking in theroadway, and 8% occur when people are stopped or standing in theroadway. About 43% of all pedestrian-vehicle collisions in the U.S. are thefault of the pedestrian. To reduce pedestrian-vehicle collisions, more raisedpedestrian islands or medians should be constructed on multilane roads.

Metrics for Local Community Planning and Evaluation: The Case for ObservationalMeasurement of High Risk Rural Sub-Populations in Occupant SafetyAuthors: James Barlament, MA and Steve Davidson, MEd,Georgia Department of Public Health; Carol Cotton, PhD,University of Georgia

This study examined the relevance of non-specific safety belt use datafor interventions to rural teens and to pilot a data collection project toprovide more specific data to traffic safety stakeholders and educators inrural areas. Twelve (12) high schools in Georgia were chosen for safetybelt use observations over a 16 month period. Data revealed a safety beltusage rate of 38.6% among high school teens at the studied high schools.Safety belt usage rates ranged from 9.5% to 66.9%. Despite efforts to targetrural areas, programs must specifically target sub populations, especiallyrural male teens. Because of the wide gap between measured safety beltuse in rural Georgia (79.9%) and the studied rural high schools (38.6%),local program planners must assess actual safety belt usage in their highrisk rural populations in order to have accurate metrics for interventionprogramming and education efforts.

Unseen Dangers: Visibility and Bicycle Safety on Georgia RoadsAuthors: James Barlament, MA; Lauren Littleton, BA; JeffreyPorter, BA; and Carol Cotton, PhD, University of Georgia

While crashes and injuries among bicyclists in Georgia decreased in recentyears, fatalities remained stagnant. This study examined the impact ofvisibility on bicycle crashes, injuries and fatalities in Georgia and to makerecommendations for programmatic measures to improve bicyclistconspicuity. Bicycle morbidity and mortality data for the years 2006 to2013 were gathered from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS),Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT), and GDOT DailyFatality Reports. Research revealed visibility to be the most prevalentcontributing factor in serious bicycle crashes. Based on these findingsprogrammatic measures for bicycle safety must focus on bicyclistconspicuity to prevent serious crashes.

Child Passenger Safety Information and the Roleof the Primary Care PhysicianAuthors: Danielle Grams; Lauren Corregano, MSW; AllisonCurry, PhD; Mark Zonfrillo, MD; Kristy Arbogast PhD; andJessica Mirman, PhD, The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia

One challenge facing parents is the complexity and the breadth of childpassenger safety (CPS) information. Primary care physicians (PCP) couldserve a vital role in the communication of CPS information to parents.To determine predictors of parents’ CPS knowledge, participants (n=75)with a child under the age of 4 completed a survey to measure: socio-demographic characteristics, CPS knowledge, if their child’s PCP everprovided CPS information, and their perceptions of the PCP as a usefulCPS resource.64% of parents perceived PCPs as an important resource.However, neither valuing the PCP as a resource: (Z = .27, p= .79) norhaving prior discussions about CPS information: (χ2=.05, p = .82) wasassociated with CPS knowledge. Despite being a valued resource for manyparents, prior discussions with PCPs about CPS information did notseem to lead to greater CPS knowledge.

Parents’ Perceptions of Common Problems TeensFace When Learning to DriveAuthors: Lauren M. Corregano, Kristina Puzino and JessicaH. Mirman, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Center forInjury Research and Prevention

Previous research on parenting practices related to injury prevention hasrevealed that parents have different expectations and provide differentguidance to male vs. female children. Little research on this topic existswith respect to teaching teens to drive. Our objective is to examine parents’perceptions of the common problems female and male teens encounterwhen learning to drive. A retrospective semi-structured interview wasadministered to n=52 parents at approximately 6 months into the permitperiod. This exploratory qualitative analysis focuses on parents’ responsesto: “What are the common problems teens have when learning to drive?”Dyad gender composition might influence how parents’ teach their teenshow to drive. Results can be used to guide future research to quantifythese differences.

Multi-Measure Performance Assessment andBenchmarking of the Divisions of the WyomingHighway PatrolAuthors: Maral Jalili, Graduate Student and Dr. Mehmet E.Ozbek, Assistant Professor, Construction ManagementDepartment, Colorado State University

Wyoming Highway Patrol (WHP) is a data-driven organization whichuses multiple measures to assess its performance. These measures can beused by WHP to perform comparisons between its 18 divisions in an effortto identify the best performing divisions. However, this process involvesthe utilization of a single performance measure at a time and may resultin difficulties in identifying the overall performance which is characterizedby the combination of multiple measures. Therefore, there is a need todevelop a performance assessment system that can identify the overallperformance of these different divisions in the presence of multiplemeasures. This poster presents a performance assessment system that isbeing developed for WHP using an innovative methodology entitled DataEnvelopment Analysis. This system can incorporate multiple measures.The results of this research will enable WHP to identify its best-performing(i.e., most efficient) divisions to be able to use those as benchmarks.

Distracted Walking: A Review of Policies andData NeedsAuthors: Jamario White, Graduate Student and Dr. JudithMwakalonge, Assistant Professor, Civil and MechanicalEngineering Technology, South Carolina State University

Pedestrians, much like drivers, have always been engaged in multi-tasklike using hand-held devices, listening to music, snacking, or reading whilewalking. The effects are similar to those experienced in distraction behindthe wheel of a moving vehicle. However, distracted walking has notreceived similar interventions and policies to reduce safety related issues.Though the problem is eminent, few to no data is collected for researchand quantification of distracted walking. Recognizing the data and researchneeds on distracted walking, this poster presents a review of the state ofpractice on policies, programs, data source for current studies, andidentifies data collection opportunities and research needs
