NCHRP 15-73: Design Options to Reduce Turning Motor Vehicle-Bicycle Conflicts at Controlled Intersections

Drs. Sanders and Schoner are key team members on this project, which includes a comprehensive literature review, practitioner interviews, state- and city-level crash analyses, surrogate safety analysis, and driver simulation to provide insights into and design guidance related to preventing turn-related motor vehicle-bicycle crashes. We are involved throughout the project, providing feedback on all deliverables and critical insights into bicycle crash patterns and related design considerations, as well as leading the multi-jurisdictional crash analysis that will clarify priority bicycle crash types and inform future human factors testing and design guidance. We will also co-author the design and policy conclusions in the final report.

Partners: Toole Design, Portland State University, and Oregon State University
