“Praveen developed highway safety evaluation methodologies/strategies and safety improvement decision-making tools for the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), which are real, practical solutions to existing road safety problems. He helped train Caltrans’ safety group with the developed safety decision-making tool, which helps safety investigators rank the locations to investigate and recommend countermeasures. This resulted in the reduction of road fatalities and severe crashes – saving lives.”
