2 Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) Background States with objective intersection control evaluation policies: California Indiana Minnesota Wisconsin Washington Under development: Pennsylvania Florida Georgia Nevada Texas Supported by FHWA s Every Day Counts Initiative Shortening project delivery Enhancing roadway safety Protecting the environment DOTs should consider and evaluate [roundabouts, diverging diamond interchanges (DDIs) and intersections with displaced left-turns or variations on U-turns] early in the project scoping, planning and decision-making stages, as they may serve as more efficient, economical and safer solutions than traditional designs. -FHWA 2/geometrics.cfm 2
3 Intersection Control Evaluations What is an Intersection? The connection or crossing of two or more roadway facilities Typical focus: At-grade forms We have been challenged implementing roundabouts over the last 2 years We now have more innovative forms to consider Mostly treatments of left-turning vehicles Intersection control evaluations apply to grade separated facilities Objective look at interchange form and function Focus is most often upon the ramp terminal intersection control of diamonds Stop Yield (roundabout) Signalized conventional Signalized crossover (diverging diamond) Signalized single intersection (single-point diamond) 3
4 Many Alternatives, Many Choices Perform engineering studies Use appropriate analysis tools Don t disregard viable alternatives just because they are new or different Source: NCHRP Report 825 4

7 Vision and Need for the SPICE Tool Safety comparisons of intersections becoming more common ICE, increased use of HSM in general, etc. Challenges with safety analysis in early project stages Which CMF is right? What should the CMF be applied to(existing, another alt, etc.)? I heard there s a new SPF for - what is it? Simple tool needed for intersection safety comparisons only Same level of effort as CAP-X Doesn t need to do road segment safety Doesn t need to do life cycle cost Doesn t need to do delay, maintenance, emissions, etc. Established tools for these already 7
8 SPICE Tool Key Attributes Performs predictive safety analysis of at-grade intersection forms/control types and ramp terminal intersections Implements the methodologies of the Highway Safety Manual (HSM) Developed with goal to be user-friendly Only requires data inputs readily available to the analyst Option to conduct planning level analysis Macro-powered Excel file Allows simultaneous evaluation of multiple forms and control types Tool will work for vast majority of intersections 8

21 SPICE Introduction Introduction The Safety Performance for Intersection Control Evaluation (SPICE) Tool was developed to provide an easy-to-use tool that automates the predictive safety analysis of intersections. This tool will allow analysts conducting Intersection Control Evaluations (ICE) to be equipped with necessary safety information during the decision-making process, without having to research a myriad of crash modification factors (CMFs) and Safety Performance Functions (SPFs) in multiple sources. The SPICE tool will perform a comparative predictive safety analysis of different intersection control strategies. The results crash frequency and severity for each alternative will then enable safety performance of alternatives to be considered quantitatively like traffic operations, construction cost, maintenance cost, or other factors. Maintenance Version: SPICE Tool 1. Maintained By: TBD Contact Information: TBD Disclaimer Disclaimers may be added, if needed. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Safety Performance for Intersection Control Evaluation Tool Overview Worksheets Project Information: Provide general project information for reference purposes only. Alternative Selection: Specify the number of alternatives being considered and the intersection control of each alternative. Predictive Inputs: Provide inputs needed to compute and apply Part C CMFs. Calibration: Input optional override values for SPF calibration factors from locally-developed or updated information. Results: Summary of opening year and (if applicable) design year and total project life cycle crash frequency and crash severity. Additional Worksheets: Additional worksheets to support the underlying Macros. Not to be updated by users unless updating future tool versions. The SPICE Tool performs safety analysis of at-grade intersection forms/control types and ramp terminal intersections of diamond interchanges. This user-friendly tool requires only data inputs that are readily available to the analyst. In addition, the SPICE tool has an option to conduct planning level analysis, where the tool assumes default values for data inputs that are challenging to obtain in the early stages of a project and/or have a very minor impact on the results. The SPICE tool assumes that certain attributes of the intersection AADT, facility type, and number of legs are the same for all alternatives. If they are not, users will be required to use the tool twice to get results. The tool will not allow simultaneous evaluation of at-grade intersections and ramp terminal intersections. For projects where analysis of both intersections and interchanges is needed, users are required use the tool twice to get results.
