Abstract: Improving the safety of pedestrians, bicyclists, and other vulnerable road users is of critical importance to achieving the objectives of the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) National Roadway Safety Strategy (NRSS) and U.S. DOT's vision of zero fatalities and serious injuries across our transportation system. According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2020 there were 10,626 traffic fatalities in the United States at roadway intersections, including 1,674 pedestrian and 355 bicyclist fatalities. These fatalities at intersections represent 27% of the total of 38,824 road traffic deaths recorded in 2020. The U.S. DOT Intersection Safety Challenge (hereafter, “the Challenge”) supports the U.S. DOT’s strategic goals related to safety, mobility, and economic growth. Safety and mobility are being supported by incentivizing innovation that can anticipate and prevent (or mitigate) unsafe conditions in intersections wherein vehicles, pedestrians, and other vulnerable road users utilize shared space. The anticipated outcomes of the challenge are to provide safer and efficiently managed intersections. Safer intersections will improve the confidence of the vulnerable road users who traverse them, helping underserved communities in both improving individual safety and encouraging utilization of non-motorized modes of travel that expand mobility options. Improved confidence in safe travel and enhanced mobility supports other related goals of economic growth and equity.
