How Pittsburgh rebuilt the collapsed Fern Hollow Bridge to support pedestrians and bicyclists

Read success story
The challenge

After a bridge collapsed, the City of Pittsburgh wanted to rebuild a safer, more efficient traffic corridor that protected pedestrians, bicyclists as well as motorists. The city had to redesign the bridge and surrounding roadways while constructing the bridge on an extremely short timeline.

Data-based solution

The city used StreetLight’s historical traffic data to better understand traffic issues that existed before the bridge’s collapse and to model the impacts of proposed operational changes once the bridge reopened. The team performed complex analyses and identified where traffic on surrounding corridors was causing backups and crashes.

Less than a year after Fern Hollow collapsed, PennDOT opened the new bridge with improved road safety solutions, including protected bike lanes, simplified intersections, and additional traffic calming measures.

See why they chose StreetLight

We no longer have to make assumptions about people’s trip activity and travel behaviors. Now we have data to support our research, and it separates fact from fiction.
Panini Chowdhury
Transportation Planning Manager, City of Pittsburgh
The data visualization created a light-bulb moment. It helped people see the magnitude of local and national freight moving through this area.
Timothy Nittle
Grants Coordinator, The City of Columbus
We got so much VRU volume data from StreetLight, that we could use 70% of the data to train existing models and 30% for cross validation.

FAQs

Quick answers to questions you may have

Discover everything about StreetLight’s Safety Solutions product features, benefits, and more.

What are road safety solutions, and why are they important?

StreetLight’s Safety Solutions offer purpose-built data analytics for transportation professionals and firm partners focused on improving roadway safety outcomes. Because these solutions cater specifically to safety improvement projects, they help transportation professionals get the data they need to diagnose dangerous roadway conditions quickly, pinpoint safety hotspots, highlight where vulnerable road users face the greatest risk of severe crashes, and illuminate which safety interventions may be the most beneficial for a given location.

What types of data are typically used in road safety analysis?

Vehicle speeds, vehicle volumes, and bike and pedestrian activity are among the core metrics used for road safety analyses. This is because vehicle speeds are so impactful to the likelihood and severity of crashes, whereas vehicle, bike, and pedestrian volumes help determine where and when crashes are most likely to occur, and where and when vulnerable road users (i.e., non-motorists, including cyclists and pedestrians) face the greatest exposure on a given roadway. These same metrics can also help predict the impact of potential safety improvements like road diets, speed limit reductions, or bike and pedestrian infrastructure.

Do I need to provide my own crash data for Safety Prioritize?

Yes, you will need to provide crash data so that it can be visualized in our Crash Data Viewer. This interactive dashboard helps you visualize digitized crash data and highlight the locations of crashes and their severity. Based on the data you provide, it can also be overlaid with any layers, including jurisdictions, equity focus areas, etc.

Can I still use StreetLight’s Safety Solutions if I don’t have crash data?

StreetLight’s suite of safety solutions include options that don’t require your crash data. Talk to a sales representative or your customer reps to learn more.

How can I align my safety projects with AASHTO’s safety standards?

StreetLight’s Safety Prioritize solution aligns with different phases of AASHTO’s Highway Safety Manual Process. We offer customizable modules, including a Crash Data Viewer, Network Screening, Countermeasure Treatments (leveraging Crash Modification Factors (CMF), a predictive Safety Improvement module, and a Measuring Effectiveness module to conduct before-and-after evaluations.

Do you provide vulnerable road user data?

Yes, both of StreetLight’s safety products provide multiple ways to assess vulnerable road user safety and transportation equity. Whether you use our Safety Data Essentials or Safety Prioritize solution, you can access data on vulnerable road user activity to help you prioritize areas with high concentrations of non-motorists.

Do you need data to inform your next project?
