NTL-SAFETY AND SECURITY-Highway Safety;AGR-INFRASTRUCTURE-Rural Roads;
Abstract:
This report is a direct step for the implementation of the Accident Analysis Module in the Interactive Highway Safety Design Model (IHSDM). The Accident Analysis Module is expected to estimate the safety of two-lane rural highway characteristics for existing and new projects. Several accident models are developed to estimate accident frequencies. The three main models are for road segments (with non-intersection accidents), one-way stop-controlled intersections with three legs, and two-way stop-controlled intersections with four legs. This report describes the collection, analysis, and modeling of accidents on rural roads in Minnesota (1985-1989) and Washington State (1993-1995).
