Abstract:Rural roads account for 90.3% of the 140,476 total centerline miles of roadways
in Kansas. In recent years, rural fatal crashes have accounted for about 66%
of all fatal crashes. The Highway Safety Manual (HSM) provides models and
methodologies for analyzing the safety of various types of highways. Predictive
methods in the HSM were developed based on national trends and data from
sample states throughout the United States. However, these methodologies
are of limited use if they are not calibrated for individual jurisdictions or local
conditions.
