The Utility of Measuring Kinetic Energy in Evaluating Roadway Safety Risks
ITE’s latest technical brief, The Utility of Measuring Kinetic Energy in Evaluating Roadway Safety Risks, introduces a practical framework for helping transportation professionals move beyond reactive crash-history analysis and toward proactive, injury-prevention–focused safety decisions. Grounded in the Safe System Approach, this publication explores how kinetic energy can serve as an intuitive predictor of crash severity and a powerful tool for evaluating risk across intersections, corridors, and regional networks. The brief highlights surrogate measures, simulation tools, available indices, big data, AI applications, and real-world case studies that can help agencies identify high-risk conditions before severe crashes occur. Access this brief to explore how kinetic energy analysis can support Vision Zero goals and help practitioners prioritize investments that save lives.
