• Abstract:
  Highway safety is an ongoing concern to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). As part of its ; proactive commitment to improving highway safety, TxDOT is moving toward including quantitative safety ; analyses earlier in the project development process. The objectives of this research project are: (1) the ; development of safety design guidelines and evaluation tools to be used by TxDOT designers, and (2) the ; production of a plan for the incorporation of these guidelines and tools in the planning and design stages of ; the project development process. ; This document summarizes the research that was conducted and the products that were developed during this ; six-year research project. It also describes a plan to incorporate safety design guidelines and evaluation tools ; into the project development process. It is intended for use by engineers responsible for the planning and ; design of streets and highways.
