1 IHSDM- HSM Predictive Methods Slide 1

2 Presentation Outline IHSDM Overview Relationship between HSM and IHSDM Crash Prediction Models and Data Needs IHSDM HSM Predictive Method 2011 Release Preview Questions / Discussion Slide 2

3 What is IHSDM? A product of FHWA s Safety Research and Development Program A suite of software tools that support project-level geometric design decisions by providing quantitative information on the expected safety and operational performance Slide 3

4 What Benefits does IHSDM Provide? IHSDM results help project developers make design decisions that improve the expected safety performance of designs IHSDM helps project planners, designers, and reviewers justify and defend geometric design decisions Slide 4

5 Evaluation Modules Crash Prediction Policy Review Design Consistency Intersection Review Traffic Analysis Driver/Vehicle Slide 5

6 Crash Prediction Module Scope Estimates expected crash frequency (i.e., Substantive Safety) based upon roadway geometry and traffic volumes Slide 6

7 Relationship between IHSDM and the HSM A. Introduction and Fundamentals B. Roadway Safety Management Process C. Predictive Method (IHSDM CPM) Chapter 10: Rural, Two-Lane Roads Chapter 11: Rural, Multilane Highways Chapter 12: Urban & Suburban Arterials D. Crash Modification Factors Slide 7

8 Relationship between IHSDM and the HSM FHWA intends IHSDM CPM to be a faithful implementation of HSM Part C methodology FHWA implemented all models based on HSM 1st Edition FHWA implemented Calibration Utility based on HSM 1 st Edition (to be released in Sept.,2011) Slide 8

9 Crash Prediction Models Highway Segments 2R MR U/SA 2-lane undivided (2U) 2-lane divided (2D) 3-lane w/twltl (3T) 4-lane undivided (4U) 4-lane divided (4D) 5-lane arterial w/twltl (5T) Slide 9
