Traffic flow disruptions that occur around roadway work zones can create hazardous conditions that can contribute to the occurrence of vehicle crashes. The Florida Department of Transportation has made strong efforts to improve work zone safety in Florida. However, analysis tools that could evaluate the effectiveness of these measures were not available. Researchers from the University of South Florida conducted a comprehensive study of Florida's work zone crash events and safety procedures. Based on the study results, they developed the Florida Work Zone Crash Database, an integrated, web-based tool. This database will collect detailed information about fatal crash events from field offices through a web interface. The information will include crash types and causes, driver characteristics, and environmental conditions.
