Highway Safety Analysis (State/Federal/Private Agencies ONLY)

Workshop | Available

WHAT THIS IS ABOUT

Transportation engineers have developed a system to identify and address roadway safety problems. The Highway Safety Analysis workshop will assist local and state level agencies with relevant information on the stepwise procedure.

The course's focus is on the identification of hazardous locations and counter-measures for alleviating the safety hazards. Other tasks that are needed to accomplish this goal include the management and analysis of crash records and also a before-after analysis of the results of implemented counter-measures.

This course will prepare one for taking charge of a roadway safety program either as an employee of an agency or a consultant. The topics covered by this course are included in the scope of the examination for PTOE certificate of the Institute of Transportation Engineers.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This course is for technicians, local government employees, consultants and engineers involved with safety problems of roads.

  • PDHs AVAILABLE

    6 Professional Development Hours can be granted for this course. No partial credit available. Attendees must attend at least 90% of the workshop to get 6 PDHs.

Dave Metzger

Mr. Metzger worked on a variety of issues for the Bristol Transportation Planning Organization, such a long-range transportation planning and modeling. In his role as traffic engineer for the City of Bristol, his duties included the collection and analysis of speed, delay, volume, crash, and other field data for a variety of studies, such as posting safe speeds of curves, determining on-street parking limits and signage based on sight distance, traffic signal warrant analyses, neighborhood traffic issues, traffic control device installation, and statistical crash analyses.  He was also involved in the selection and installation of countermeasures based on those data findings. His crash analyses have been used by multiple police departments to fulfill their accreditation needs for crash analysis.  He was also responsible for coordination of traffic operations for special events, such as 5K runs, parades, music festivals, and over 200 races and the Battle of Bristol (recognized in the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest crowd for a college football game) at Bristol Motor Speedway, often over multiple jurisdictions.  He holds a B.S. degree in Civil Engineering and an M.S. degree in Transportation Engineering, both from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and retired after over 37 years of experience in Bristol, with Professional Engineer registration in Tennessee and Virginia. He is a Fellow of ITE.  He has served as an instructor for TTAP since 2012.
