3 HSM Freeways Overview 3 NCHRP HSM Appendices Data from 3 states Washington California Maine Data sources Highway Safety Information System (HSIS) Aerial Photographs
4 4 HSM Predictive Method Number of Crashes = Number of Crashes for Base Conditions x Crash Modification Factors (CMFs) x Calibration Factor
5 5 Why Calibrate the HSM? Account for local conditions Driver behavior Topography Climate Crash reporting thresholds
6 6 How Do We Calculate Calibration Factor? Calibration Factor = OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CCCCCCCCCCCCC PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP CCCCCCCCCCCCC
7 HSM Calibration Process Selection of Facility Types for Calibration Sampling Data Collection Review of Crash Reports Calibration 7
8 Freeway Facility Types 8
9 Selection of Freeway Segment Facility Types Rural/Urban No. of Freeway Lanes Rural 4 Urban 4 Urban 6 (Google, 2015) 9
10 10 Selection of Speed Change Lane Facility Types Rural/Urban Entrance/Exit No. of Freeway Lanes Rural Entrance 4 Urban Entrance 4 Urban Entrance 6 Rural Exit 4 Urban Exit 4 Urban Exit 6
11 11 Selection of Ramp Segment Facility Types Rural/Urban Entrance/Exit No. of Ramp Lanes Rural Entrance 1 Rural Exit 1 Urban Entrance 1 Urban Exit 1 Urban Entrance 2 Urban Exit 2
12 Example Interchange Configurations Parclo Diamond (Google, 2015) 12

14 Sampling HSM Guidance Minimum 30 to 50 sites Total of at least 100 crashes/yr Approach Create database of interchange types Random sampling from each MoDOT District 14
15 Sampling 15
16 16 Calibration Scope Interchange Type Number of Interchanges Interchange Crashes Ramp Terminal Crashes A2 Stop - R A2 Stop - U D4 Stop - R D4 Stop - U D4 Signal D4 Signal Totals
17 AADT Data Requirements Crash data (severity, number of vehicles) Distance to exit and entrance ramps Geometric data Horizontal curves Barrier lengths and offsets Lane and shoulder width Number of lanes Number of driveways and public road approaches (crossroad) Type of left turn phasing (crossroad) 17
18 Data Sources MoDOT Transportation Management Systems (TMS) Database Viewer for MoDOT Automated Road Analyzer (ARAN) Aerial and street view photographs CAD (horizontal curve data) Other MoDOT sources 18
19 Review of Crash Reports Errors found in coded crash location, such as: Unassigned crashes at ramp terminals Ramp terminal crashes incorrectly assigned to freeway Assign crash to correct facility type Exclusion of rare events Tutorial developed 19
20 Unassigned Crashes at Ramp Terminals (MoDOT) 20
21 21 Ramp Terminal Crashes Due to Queuing (MoDOT)
22 22 Physical vs. Functional Classification of Crashes: HSM Freeway segments, speed change lanes, and ramp segments: based on physical location
23 23 Physical vs. Functional Classification of Crashes: HSM Ramp terminals: based on both location and circumstances
24 24 Physical vs. Functional Classification of Crashes: Example 1
25 25 Physical vs. Functional Classification of Crashes: Example 2
26 26 Physical vs. Functional Classification of Crashes: Example 3
27 Calibration Tools IHSDM 27
28 Calibration Tools 28 ISATe spreadsheets
29 29 Calibration Results (Freeway Segments) Model Rural 4-Lane Urban 4-Lane Urban 6-Lane PDO Single Vehicle PDO Multiple Vehicle Fatal/Injury Single Vehicle Fatal/Injury Multiple Vehicle
30 Conclusion Created database of interchange classification in Missouri Need for variety of data sources Use of CAD to estimate curve data Review of crash reports in progress Results obtained for freeway segments 30
