Systemic Approach to
Safety in Texas Srinivas Reddy Geedipally, PhD, PE
June 9, 2015
What is “Systemic Approach”?
Focuses on high-risk roadway features Selects low-cost effective countermeasures Reduces fatal/severe crashes in rural areas Also beneficial for crash types less likely clustered
in urban area.
An approach that focuses on roadway safety features to prevent high severe crashes
Severe crashes are widely distributed Few locations experience a high number of
sustained occurrences Crash locations are somewhat random Addresses crashes across the network
Why “Systemic Approach”?
Systemic Project Selection Tool
Systemic Widening Program
Rural 2-Lane – 2-Way Highway ADT ≥ 400 vehicles per day Less than 24 foot paved surface width Widening to a maximum paved surface width of 28 foot

Evaluate Risk Factors We now have Weight for SVROR (Ws) Weight for Head-on (Wh) Total Weight
𝑊𝑡 = 𝑊𝑠 + 𝑝 ∗ 𝐶 ∗ 𝑊ℎ Where • 𝑝= proportion of the number of head-on crashes with respect to
SVROR and • 𝐶 = proportion of the crash cost of head-on crashes with respect
to SVROR.
