Intersection Crash Research>>>
Intersection Decision Support Program
Contact: David Ragland, TSC
Using
intelligent
technologies
to
improve
safety
at
intersections
is
the
focus
of
the Partners for Advanced Highways and Transit's (PATH) Intersection Decision Support (IDS) project. PATH, in conjunction with the Traffic Safety Center, is
researching
the
feasibility
of
placing
an
IDS
system
at
an
intersection
in
Berkeley, California,
where
there
is
heavy
left-turning
traffic
with
no
protection
from
a
left-turn
arrow. The TSC will begin the project with the gathering of data on traffic patterns at the site, which is located at the corners of Hearst and Shattuck Aves. in a busy retail/restaurant district of North Berkeley.
