Abstract:

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Geometric Design Laboratory (GDL) is dedicated to supporting transportation safety, design, and innovation through advanced tools, technical reviews, and collaboration with research and implementation teams. GDL's main mission is the advancement of the safety practice. Such advancement can be in the forms of identification of issues and needs, conducting of research that leads to usable information and tools, and technical support of researchers and practitioners to assist them in their efforts to develop and apply safety analysis methods and tools. Many GDL activities fit under the broad category of data-driven safety analysis (DDSA) and support the general areas of performance-based analysis and design, performance effects of geometric design, and safety performance and analysis. GDL serves to bridge the gap between research and practice—for example, by assisting agencies in developing and carrying out plans for conducting DDSA at both the project and program levels. Supporting DDSA and AASHTO's Highway Safety Manual (HSM) implementation is a high priority for GDL, highlighting GDL’s coordinating role in connecting a range of FHWA offices and external stakeholders (e.g., State agencies).
