| Abstract | The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) hosted a Crash Modification Factor (CMF) Stakeholder Meeting to provide a forum for CMF stakeholders to communicate ongoing efforts and identify opportunities for future collaboration. CMF stakeholders represent two primary groups: the CMF user community (transportation agencies and practitioners) and the CMF research and development community (individuals and agencies who plan, fund, direct, and carry out CMF research). Bringing these stakeholders together provided an opportunity to share insights and resources to further advance the research and development of CMFs and related activities. The meeting was arranged around five primary topic areas. The first was current CMF-related activities, which allowed time for each stakeholder to identify their roles, responsibilities, and current efforts with respect to the development and application of CMFs. The second topic of discussion was CMF research needs, which included a summary of the results of a CMF gap analysis. The third topic focused on resources (e.g., data) to support the development of CMFs. The fourth topic, advancing highway safety, focused on research methods, technologies, and innovation. The final discussion was a recap of the overarching themes and focused on future opportunities to advance the state of the practice. The remainder of this section provides further details on each of the topic areas, summarizing current CMF development efforts and highlighting key opportunities for the future. |
