Abstract:One of the best strategies to improve traffic safety and reduce motor vehicle traffic
crashes is to provide well-planned engineering, education, and enforcement
countermeasures that are tailored to given crash, traffic, and roadway
characteristics. The implementation of the American Association of State Highway
and Transportation Officials’ Highway Safety Manual (HSM) methodologies is
expected to provide a cost-effective approach to transportation safety planning and
engineering. However, the safety performance functions for HSM’s predictive
method were developed using data from states other than Maryland (California and
Washington). Therefore, Local calibration factors (LCFs) need to be developed to
apply HSM’s predictive method to Maryland.
