I am a huge proponent of Dean’s work on Driver Conditioning and the Highway Safety Initiative. Dean has assisted us with evaluation of two sites in Logan County and his recommendations and concepts have helped us to greatly reduce the accidents at these locations. I believe that this process can have significant positive impacts on highway safety if implemented on a larger scale nationally.

As engineers, it is important that we use all tools made available to us to identify, analyze, and correct areas of highway that experience high number of crashes. I believe the highway initiative has the potential to be one such tool, to reduce highway crashes, and, therefore, to save lives on a larger scale.
