Kim ey#>Horn Page 3 <br /> Task 2.1 —Safety Data Collection and Analysis Plan <br /> Kimley-Horn will use existing crash and volume data from ARDOT's Arkansas Crash Analytics Tool <br /> (ACAT), National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) Fatality Analysis Reporting <br /> System (FARS), the Strategic Highway Safety Plan, and other data provided by the City. The most <br /> recent five years of data will be used for the analysis. Kimley-Horn will consider emerging data <br /> sources that could be used and document potential safety data in a Safety Data Collection and <br /> Analysis Plan. Kimley-Horn will provide this plan to the City for review and comment. Kimley-Horn <br /> will incorporate comments from the City and will develop a final Safety Data Collection and Analysis <br /> Plan. <br /> Task 2.2—Collect and Analyze Traffic Safety and Volume Data <br /> Kimley-Horn will analyze existing data and trends on all public roadways to identify specific emphasis <br /> areas, such as active transportation, impaired driving, intersection, or lane departures, that represent <br /> a large proportion of fatalities and serious injuries. <br /> Kimley-Horn will develop a statistical network screening tool that uses the Highway Safety Manual <br /> (HSM) crash prediction methods to identify a high-risk network with priority locations for additional <br /> review. The HSM-based method identifies: <br /> 1. Locations with higher-than-expected crash frequencies, based on comparison with similar <br /> facilities; and <br /> 2. Locations with the greatest potential for safety improvement(decreased crashes). <br /> This method leads to a high-risk network which is reviewed for a variety of crash characteristics to <br /> identify locations where specific crash types are overrepresented. <br /> Task 2.3—Identify Safety Trends, Hot Spots, and High Injury Networks <br /> Kimley-Horn will document existing conditions and historical trends and provide a baseline level of <br /> crashes involving fatalities and serious injuries across the City of Batesville. <br /> Kimley-Horn will use a data-driven approach using crash and volume data, if available, to determine <br /> crash rates on corridors and at intersections. A high-injury network will be developed that includes <br /> data related crash location, demographics, and crash factors. The high-injury network will look at <br /> modes including vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians. This data will be overlaid with underserved <br /> community data to include equity as a factor in ranking corridors and intersections during later tasks. <br /> The results of Task 2.2 and Task 2.3 will be summarized in a Safety Hot Spot and High-Injury <br /> Network Technical Memorandum. <br /> Task 2.4—Prioritize Safety Locations <br /> Prioritization will be based on the data analysis as well as the public outreach and equity activities <br /> identified in Task 3. A prioritized set of safety locations for further analysis will be developed once the <br /> engagement and equity activities are substantially complete. Kimley-Horn will document the <br />
