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
![Page 3: Project Selection for Highway Widening: A Systemic Approach](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042600/58ecb8741a28ab1a2c8b45ff/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
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 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
CRITERIA

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.
