1. Literature Review: • Nationwide review of current CFME programs and integration for best safety practice. • Conduct a gap analysis on the Department’s pavement friction management program and safety office including the new Safety Analysis and Financial Evaluation Technology (SAFETY) System practices and identify any gaps or shortcomings. 2. Continuous Friction Measuring Equipment Assessment and Testing Results for Florida Pavements: • Harmonize LWFT and CFME by developing speed correlations and equivalent friction numbers for FDOT surface types. • Evaluate and incorporate new CFME data collection elements. • Develop equipment precision estimates for all data collection elements. • Develop survey protocol, data collection and calibration procedures, data quality management plan, Florida Test Methods, and Guidelines for CFME. 3. Integration of CFME with Skid Hazard Reporting (SHR) system and Safety Analysis and Financial Evaluation Technology (Safety) System: • Enhance or supplement SHR database to incorporate new data elements collected by CFME. • Update SHR to incorporate Signal 4 Analytics (from CARS) for crash analysis. • Develop Safety review process and reporting tools to include the new SHR and SAFETY System to be dynamic and automated to notify District of safety issues. • Develop an interactive reporting system that provides countermeasure-level analytics for locations where risk factors are high 4. Infrastructure Assessment and Return on Investment (ROI): • Considering safety benefits of implementation, develop roadmap for long term safety investments. • Infrastructure needs of equipment, staffing, data/reporting, and budgeting. • Develop a ROI evaluation including benefit to cost of program.
