• Abstract:
  This guidebook is intended to provide guidance on whether an agency should calibrate the safety performance functions (SPFs) from the Highway Safety Manual (HSM) (AASHTO, 2010) or develop jurisdiction-specific SPFs. The guidebook discusses the factors that need to be considered while making the decision. It is intended to be of use to practitioners at state and local agencies and to researchers.
