Event Description/Abstract
A key consideration when implementing practical design solutions is the impact on safety. Safety is also an important metric when selecting a preferred alternative or prioritizing projects. This presentation uses real project examples to illustrate how safety analyses, specifically the quantitative methods in the Highway Safety Manual (HSM), have been used to justify and implement practical design solutions, evaluate multiple alternatives, and prioritize projects.
