A field test of an aerial drone equipped with 3-D imaging technology enabled investigators to reconstruct a crash scene in 25 minutes versus two hours using a conventional method; results suggest clearance times can be cut by more than 50 percent.

Similar to the laser systems troopers use on tripods, drones can take 3-D images of crash scenes, with the additional ability to take aerial images. Traditionally, troopers had to continuously…

Benefit-to-cost ratios for six dynamic message signs on two freeways ranged from 1.38:1 to 16.95:1 based on total crashes; however, hazard warnings posted during incidents were ineffective at reducing secondary crashes.

RESULTSThe benefit-to-cost ratio for the I-26 treatment was estimated at 1.38 considering total crashes, and -0.15 considering only target crashes (secondary crashes).The benefit-to-cost ratio for…
