The “AccSafety” project is designed to enhance the accessibility, usability, and integration of transportation-related research outcomes into the decision-making processes of the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT). Addressing the challenges of complex implementation processes and lack of standardization, this project will develop a cloud-based, user-friendly web tool tailored for DOT projects. This tool aims to simplify the use of intricate research algorithms and data sources for DOT professionals and stakeholders, facilitating easier application of research findings to practical transportation projects. This project will involve defining technical requirements, developing an intuitive user interface, and implementing backend functionalities. It will culminate in a comprehensive evaluation of the tool’s impact on improving project outcomes and decision-making efficiency within DOT, significantly enhancing the translation of research into actionable results.
