Implementing the Safe System Approach Using Pavement Friction Data
2:00 pm – 3:00 pm Eastern
To reduce road crash injuries and fatalities, the U.S. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) advocates a Safe System Approach that anticipates human errors and minimizes infrastructure-related risks.
Moderated by Magdy Mikhail, PhD, PE, former Director of Pavement Management at TxDOT and current Director of Transportation Industry Solutions at AgileAssets, this panel discussion features three current and former leaders of the Florida, Ohio, and Texas Departments of Transportation offering insights into how to use pavement friction data to implement proactive interventions that save lives.
Attendees will learn:
- How to start implementing the Safe System Approach
- Factors that enable organizations to design and manage safer roadways
- How friction data improves pavement performance and safety
- How to coordinate pavement and safety projects to proactively save lives
Attendees are encouraged to participate in a Q&A session following the panel discussion.
Panelists:
Charles Holzschuher, State Pavement Evaluation Engineer, Florida Department of Transportation
Brian Schleppi, Highway Infrastructure Management Supervisor (retired), Ohio Department of Transportation
Jenny Li, Pavement Asset Management Section Director, Texas Department of Transportation
