Applying Safety Improvement to Fleet Vehicles
This report examines the current evaluation process used by the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Division of Equipment (DOE) in addressing safety equipment problems and deployment issues. It offers a nine-step process termed the Fleet Safety Evaluation Tool (FSET). This approach is based on data analysis and is designed to assist DOE staff in making safety equipment changes to fleet vehicles. The nine steps of FSET include: 1) problem identification; 2) problem evaluation; 3) solution identification; 4) solution evaluation; 5) pilot testing; 6) strategic planning for deployment; 7) deployment; 8) follow-up evaluation; and, 9) modification of solution. The potential safety changes receiving focus in the project are those involving safety equipment enhancement that is beyond the original specification for the vehicle or outside the scope of the original equipment design or purpose.
