  • Kentucky Traffic Collision Facts Report Includes a Lot of Vital Information and Statistics Regarding Auto Collisions That Occurred on Our Commonwealth’S Roadways
    2019 REPORT Do you need access to data or advice from a traffic safety expert? If you’d like to ask for help with your project, check out the Kentucky Traffic Data Services. KTSDS.ktc.uky.edu Photos and other images created by the Kentucky Transportation Center or licensed with credits under a standard perpetual license agreement through iStock.com in partnership with Getty Images(US), Inc. Dear Kentuckians: Being transparent is a top priority for my administration, and one way to be transparent is to share available data. The 2019 Kentucky Traffic Collision Facts report includes a lot of vital information and statistics regarding auto collisions that occurred on our commonwealth’s roadways. This report should serve as a reminder to all of us that it is our individual responsibility every time we get behind the wheel to demonstrate the skill and knowledge of safe driving in order to keep ourselves and our fellow Kentuckians safe from harm while operating a vehicle. Unfortunately, I am sad to report our commonwealth lost 732 Kentuckians in 2019 to auto collisions; of which 289 were under the influence of drugs and 135 were under the influence of alcohol. They are people who are truly missed by their family and their friends. These lives lost should reinforce our resolve to do our best every day to protect those around us on the roadways. I want to remind all motorists whether they are new to the road or a seasoned driver to follow these safe practices: • Never text and drive • Don’t operate a vehicle under the influence of any substance • Always buckle up • Observe speed limits By holding ourselves accountable and working together, we will save lives and make our roadways safer for all Kentuckians and visitors to our great commonwealth.

  • ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE TECHNOLOGY NAMES AAA’S Recommendation for Common Naming of Advanced Safety Systems
    JANUARY 2019 ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE TECHNOLOGY NAMES AAA’s recommendation for common naming of advanced safety systems NewsRoom.AAA.com Advanced Driver Assistance Technology Names (this page intentionally left blank) © 2019 American Automobile Association, Inc. 2 Advanced Driver Assistance Technology Names Abstract Advanced Driver Assistance Systems have become increasingly prevalent on new vehicles. In fact, at least one ADAS feature is available on 92.7% of new vehicles available in the U.S. as of May 2018.1 Not only are these advanced driver assistance systems within financial reach of many new car consumers (about $1,950 for the average ADAS bundle2), they also have the potential to avoid or mitigate the severity of a crash. However, the terminology used to describe them varies widely and often seems to prioritize marketing over clarity. The lack of standardized names for automotive systems adds confusion for motorists when researching and using advanced safety systems. The intent of this paper is to create a dialog with the automotive industry, safety organizations and legislators about the need for common naming for advanced driver assistance systems. Within this report, AAA is proposing a set of standardized technology names for use in describing advanced safety systems. AAA acknowledges that this is a dynamic environment, and that further input from stakeholders and consumer research will further refine this recommendation. To date, automakers have devised their own branded technology names which, for example, has resulted in twenty unique names for adaptive cruise control and nineteen different names for lane keeping assistance (section 3.2) alone. A selection of these names is shown in Figure 1.

  • 10-17-17 Operation Net Nanny in Kitsap County
    Office of the Chief Chief John R. Batiste www.wsp.wa.gov Captain Monica Alexander *** For Immediate Release *** Government and Media Relations Name Lt. James Mjor Email [email protected] Phone 360-584-4482 Twitter @WAStatePatrol October 17, 2017 Net Nanny Operation Returns to Kitsap County and Leads to 20 Arrests Bremerton – 20 dangerous sexual predators that targeted children in Kitsap County were taken off the streets thanks to a multi-day operation run by law enforcement, county prosecutors, and victim advocate specialists. Additionally, 18 children were identified as potential victims of sex abuse crimes. The operation is called “Net Nanny” and it has it’s origins in Kitsap County. Since that original August 2015 operation, there have been eight additional operations in Washington State. WSP Missing and Exploited Children Task Force (MECTF), an Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) affiliate, spearheads the multi- agency operation that includes partners in federal, state, and local law enforcement. The “Net Nanny” series, conducted throughout the State of Washington, has netted a total of 135 arrests and rescued 22 identified child victims throughout the state. “The Internet has become a hunting ground for sexual predators that are targeting our vulnerable children,” says WSP Chief John R. Batiste.” “This multi-agency operation is taking dangerous individuals off the streets and making communities safer for families” Law enforcement officers acting in an undercover capacity, communicated on the internet through various websites with individuals interested in having sex with children. The operation generated hundreds of responses. The would-be perpetrators who were arrested in the operation traveled to meet with undercover detectives posing as young girls and boys with the intent to engage in sexual activity with them.
