Details

• Personal Author:

• Description:
  Flashing warning lights and vehicle colors and markings are important contributors to roadway maintenance worker safety. These elements should not only alert (A) drivers about the presence of the vehicle and nearby workers, but also inform (I) drivers about the type of situation they are approaching, and help manage (M) driver behavior so they can adjust their speed and lane position appropriately for the safety of workers. This presentation will describe this AIM (Alert/Inform/Manage) framework and share research results on the use of warning lights and vehicle colors/markings to maximize safety by addressing each element in the AIM framework.
