• Abstract:
  "Quality data are the foundation for making important decisions regarding the design, operation, and safety of ; roadways. The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) provides information on how safety data should be ; used. However, there are no details on specific data elements that State agencies should be collecting, maintaining, ; and using to support their HSIP and Strategic Highway Safety Plans (SHSPs). In 2011, the Federal Highway ; Administration (FHWA) Office of Safety released a guidance memorandum on the fundamental roadway and traffic ; data elements that States should be collecting and incorporating into their safety analyses to support their HSIP ; (known as the FDE/HSIP) and on what roadways they should be collected. The purpose of this report is to provide ; background information on why and how the guidance was developed, estimates of the costs of data collection, safety ; analysis tools and methods, and performance measures that should be implemented to achieve quality safety data."
