Abstract:

Road Safety Audits (RSAs) are a formal safety performance examination of an existing or future roadway or off-road facility and are conducted by an independent, experienced, multidisciplinary team. The purpose of the Road Safety Audit Case Studies: Using IHSDM in the RSA Process is to help Federal, State, Tribal, and local agencies understand the benefits of using the Interactive Highway Safety Design Model (IHSDM) during the RSA process as a decision-support tool to evaluate and estimate the safety and operation of various design features. This case study document provides a review of the RSA process, an overview of IHSDM, and three case study examples of RSAs that utilized IHSDM. The case studies include photographs, a project background, how IHSDM was used, key RSA findings and suggestions, and the benefits of the IHSDM. These case studies will help jurisdictions incorporate this useful decision-support tool into the RSA process.
