Abstract:

The objectives of this research are to synthesize the current state of knowledge concerning the safety assessment of new or modified interchanges; develop a spreadsheet-based computational tool for performing safety assessments of interchanges; and identify gaps in knowledge concerning interchange safety assessment and future research needs to fill those gaps. This report summarizes the capabilities of the spreadsheet-based Interchange Safety Analysis Tool (ISAT), summarizes safety data related to interchanges, summarizes safety literature related to interchanges, presents results of telephone interviews with key stakeholders to investigate their needs and requirements in safety evaluations of interchanges, and identifies substantive gaps in the current state of knowledge that limit the ability of ISAT to provide all of the capabilities desired by potential users and provides a brief summary of the needed research to address these gaps. This report also contains the detailed algorithms utilized in the calculations of the ISAT program.
