Proposed Macro-Level Safety Planning Analysis Chapter for the Highway Safety Manual

The objectives of this research were to develop validated and demonstrated quantitative macro-level safety prediction models and a quantitative safety planning chapter for the AASHTO Highway Safety Manual (HSM) intended for use by transportation practitioners at all levels. This includes a guidance document on the development and application of these models, methods to integrate the model results into planning procedures, and electronic analysis tools for applying the models in practice. The research results are intended as a new chapter for inclusion in a future edition of the HSM. The results should address a broad range of safety planning level issues related to macro-level models such as, but not limited to, geography, demographics, transportation modes and modal interaction, existing or planned land-use and/or transportation projects, model transferability, calibration needs, and associated data limitations.
