Andrew P. Tarko studies road traffic safety, focusing on how road design, roadside barriers, signals, and driver behavior affect crash risk. His recent work examines topics such as rumble strips, median types, guardrail and barrier performance, traffic conflicts as crash surrogates, and safety considerations for autonomous vehicles. This research is aimed at helping transportation agencies design safer roads and evaluate safety countermeasures using crash and traffic data.
