  4. HSM: A Multipurpose Toolbox • Planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance • System Planning • HSM Part B • Project Planning & Preliminary Engineering • HSM Part B and Part C • Design and Construction • HSM Part C and Part D • Operations and Maintenance • HSM Part B, C and D

  5. Part B - Roadway Safety Management • Develop understanding of system needs • Inform countermeasure selection • Prioritize projects with potential for crash reduction

  6. Part B Performance Measures • Multiple performance measures available • Simple to rigorous • Data has limited most agencies

  7. Part C – Predictive Method • SPFs predict crashes for a base condition • Part C CMFs modify the base prediction to reflect physical conditions (e.g., left-turn lanes)

  8. Part D - Crash Modification Factors • Provided in Part D and online in FHWA Clearinghouse • Estimate change in crash frequency associated with a proposed modification

  9. HSM Applications in OR

  10. State/Region Network Screening Identifies Sites with Potential for Crash Reduction • Segment screening based on sliding window • ODOT ARTS systemic safety network screening focus areas • Roadway Departure • Bicycle and Pedestrian • Intersection

  11. ODOT Region 1 ARTS: Data-informed 300% Systemic Project Locations • HSM Performance Measure: Equivalent Property Damage Only (EPDO) average crash frequency • Selected to reflect the severity of reported crashes • Applied independently to intersections and segments • Weighting Factors (consistent with SPIS): • 100 for Fatal or Injury A • 10 for Injury B or C • 1 for PDO

  12. Region 1: Data-informed 300% Systemic Project Locations • Traditional Systemic Analysis • Use crash history to prioritize intersection crash locations

  13. Statewide Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Implementation Plan • Risk-based Systemic Safety Analysis • Crash history is not sufficient to inform pedestrian and bicycle crash risk

  14. Data-Informed Safety Management Plan Example Bend, OR • Goal: Establish a safety management program • Understand crash patterns • Prioritize safety projects • Improve collaboration with other agencies

  15. Data-Informed Safety Management Plan Example Bend, OR

  16. Corridor Safety Analysis Example: SR 46 • Facility: 7.4 miles of two-lane rural highway in Seminole County, Florida • Goal: Evaluate crash history and identify countermeasures to reduce crash frequency and severity • Identify project cost-benefit ratios to justify funding and objectively prioritize projects

  17. Corridor Safety Study Example: SR 46 • Corridor crash trends • 30% rear-end • 24% run-off-road • 45% at night • Contributing Factors • Careless Driving • Failure to Yield ROW • Speed

  18. Corridor Safety Study Example: SR 46

  19. Corridor Safety Study Example: SR 46

  20. Corridor Safety Study Example: SR 46 • Tier I Projects • Low-cost rumble strips, signs • Tier II Projects • Moderate-cost shoulder widening, turn lanes, intersection lighting, etc. • Tier III Projects • High-cost passing lane, access management

  21. What’s Next? • 2nd Edition Production through NCHRP 17-73 • Incorporates Freeway and Ramp Prediction Models (Available now) • Additional Models (e.g., arterials with six or more lanes and one-way arterial streets) • Increased statistical rigor • Exclude Part D CMFs
