Risky Roads Mapped Out
However, one thing about this new technique is that the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety has made sure that they would first be mapping out the relative risks of roads in the rural areas first. Of course, they do have their very own reasons for doing such. This kind of technique may be new in the United States however such a method is already present and in use in the continents of Australia and Europe. According to the organization, with this new tool, agencies who do their highway work and statistical data would be able to check out and do assessments of risk of the various roads. They could also make use of any crash data that has been made available to the public. With all these kind of information and data coming in, sure enough, problems could be easy spotted and any kind of guide or strategy could be easily checked. We all surely would not want to see all those Ford Mustang parts and all other vehicle parts scattered on the road because of untoward incidents, or accidents for that matter. As per this new mapping system, the AAA Foundation has just completed doing the first phase of this new kind of study. They are calling this study the United States Road Assessment Program which they lovingly dub as usRAP for short. Larry Tibbits who is the chief operations officer for the Michigan transportation department team does say, “usRAP provides us with an important new tool to enhance the management of our safety programs.” This statement given out by Tibbits has been expounded on by Tom Welch: “usRAP provides additional insight into our analyses of crash data.” Welch is the current state transportation safety engineer of the Iowa transportation department. Says Tony Giancola, the National Association of County’s Engineers executive director, “These tools will be invaluable for state, county, and local engineers across the country looking to maximize the safety benefits from their limited resources.” About the Author: Jason Moore, a 35 year old freelance writer from Austin, Texas. He also works as a marketing analyst for an established auto parts store in the country. Please visit Ford Mustang parts for more information.
