Abstract:

Safety Analyst is a software package developed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and twenty-seven participating state and local agencies including the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT). The software package implemented many of the analytical methods in Part B of HSM 2010. NDOT is to utilize Safety Analyst to establish a datadriven and self-sustaining program for highway safety management. Safety Analyst requires comprehensive data in particular formats, which are not available in Nevada. In this project, the Center for Advanced Transportation Education and Research (CATER) at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) collected road, intersection, ramp, traffic and crash data from different Nevada data sources and generated a statewide database meeting requirements of the Safety Analyst software. This statewide database contains the mandatory data of roadways, intersections, ramps, and crashes for utilizing Safety Analyst, so it allows NDOT to benefit from this advanced software to improve traffic safety in Nevada. The completed database includes CSV data files that can be directly loaded into Safety Analyst and the GIS data layers for extended data applications.
