General Information

Summary:
This is a 1.5 day course. It is intended to give participants an understanding of roadway safety fundamentals, how safety affects different stages of the project development process, and how to predict crashes using HSM models. All four parts of the Highway Safety Manual (HSM) will be covered.
The Highway Safety Manual provides methods for developing an effective highway safety management program and evaluating their effects through quantitative safety analysis along side other transportation performance measures like traffic operations, environmental impacts, and construction costs. The Highway Safety Manual’s predictive crash methods provide estimated effectiveness of reducing crash frequencies through implementing different countermeasures or roadway cross-sections.

Learning Outcomes:
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
Conduct data driven safety analysis;
Identify best practices for improving road safety in different discipline areas and project development stages;
Use different analysis tools to predict crashes on roadways or intersection types;
Compare the safety impacts of different roadway alternatives;
Evaluate the safety effects of design exceptions.

Teaching Method:
Instructor Led

Prerequisites:
Participants should familiarize themselves with the chapter outline of the AASHTO Highway Safety Manual, have a basic understanding of highway safety countermeasures, and view the online Crash Modification Factors (CMF) Clearinghouse website located at http://www.cmfclearinghouse.org/index.cfm. Participants should also have a basic understanding of Microsoft Excel.

Target Audience:
This course is intended for transportation planners, safety analysts, traffic engineers and highway designers/engineers who are involved with the development of safety projects, design projects, or traffic impact studies for operations.

Final Exam:
No
