Abstract:Performance-based safety goals and objectives are more attainable with the use of the Highway Safety Manual (HSM). However, the safety performance functions (SPFs) in the HSM are not accurate because they are not calibrated to local conditions. Additionally, each SPF and crash modification factor (CMF) assumes a set of base site conditions which might not be realistic or representative of local roadways. The calibration procedures provided in HSM Part C Appendix A should therefore be modified to accommodate local data availability as well as roadway, traffic, and crash characteristics. Furthermore, a set of base conditions applicable to local highways should be determined.
