Abstract:Transportation agencies consider various factors in comparing project alternatives and justifying investment decisions. Such factors may include: Safety performance; Operational efficiency; Environmental impacts and mitigation; Economic impacts. Agencies quantify the operational, environmental, and economic impact of project alternatives using readily-available tools and resources. While the Highway Safety Manual and related tools are available to analyze the safety performance of project alternatives, there is a need to consider the complete lifecycle cost and benefits of projects, including direct and indirect safety benefits. Indirect safety benefits may include reduced delay, travel time, and emissions as a result of fewer crashes.
