WHAT THE HSM IS NOT
• The HSM does not set requirements or mandates• The HSM is not a best practice document for design or
operations.• The HSM contains no warrants or standards
and does not supersede other publications that do.

IS THIS ROAD “SAFE” OR “UNSAFE”?
What does safety really mean?

Examined in reference to compliance with standards, warrants, guidelines and sanctioned design procedures
The expected or actual crash frequency and
severity for a highway or roadway
HIGHWAY SAFETY HAS TWO DIMENSIONS

Substantive Safety
• Best measured in terms of expected (long-term) average crash frequency
• Ways to estimate:– Crash data– Predictive methods
• Safety Performance Functions (SPFs)• Accident Modification Factors/Functions (AMFs)
– Combination (Empirical Bayes)

Npredicted = Nspfx*(AMF1x*AMF2x*... *AMFyx )*Cx
Where,Npredicted = predicted average crash frequency for a
specific year for site type x;Nspf x = predicted average crash frequency determined
for base conditions of the SPF developed for site type x;
AMFyx = Accident Modification Factors specific to SPF for site type x;
Cx = calibration factor to adjust SPF for local conditions for site type x.
