Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) is a core Federal-aid program with the purpose of achieving a significant reduction in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on all public roads, including non-State-owned facilities. In its efforts to ensure that the program investment produces an optimal outcome, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) conducted a scan tour of HSIP practices in the fall of 2015, visiting Alaska, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Oregon, and Utah. The purpose of the Scan Tour was to identify notable practices in the areas of HSIP administration, planning, implementation and evaluation in high -performing States with the goal of sharing this information among all the States. The Scan Tour findings highlighted a number of notable practices related to: documenting HSIP processes; coordinating with internal and external partners; understanding the relationship between the Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) and HSIP; making data-driven safety decisions; using advanced safety analysis methods and tools; addressing local road needs; considering all four “E’s”; establishing multi-year plan and budget; and identifying opportunities to streamline project delivery.

Download or read book Highway Safety Improvement Program HSIP Evaluation Guide written by Frank Gross and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) comprises three components: planning, implementation, and evaluation. This guide focuses on the evaluation component, which provides a critical feedback loop to update processes and inform future decisions. The target audience includes safety program managers, project managers, data analysts, and researchers involved with project, countermeasure, or program evaluations, in particular HSIP evaluations. The purpose of the HSIP Evaluation Guide is to provide direction and resources to agencies that want to begin or enhance HSIP evaluation efforts. Readers will be prepared to track critical project details in support of HSIP evaluation, perform three different levels of evaluation (i.e., project, countermeasure, and program level), and use the results of HSIP evaluations to improve decisions and processes. Readers will also understand the methods, data requirements, and considerations associated with the different levels of evaluation. Examples from various States highlight noteworthy practices and the benefits of evaluation. Employing more consistent and reliable evaluation methods will support safety decision making, positively affect processes intended to reduce crashes, optimize return on investment of safety funding, and increase the effectiveness of projects and programs.

Book excerpt: To reduce traffic fatalities and accidents, the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) nearly doubled funding for the Fed. Hwy. Admin¿s. (FHWA) Hwy. Safety Improvement Program, authorizing $5.1 billion for 2006 through 2009. SAFETEA-LU also added requirements for states to develop strategic hwy. safety plans that cover all aspects of hwy. safety, including infrastructure, behavioral (education and enforcement), and emergency medical services projects; develop crash data analysis systems; and publicly report on the top 5% of hazardous locations on all their public roads. This testimony provides preliminary information on the implementation of HSIP since SAFETEA-LU. Illustrations.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) aims to achieve a reduction in the number and severity of fatalities and serious injury crashes on all public roads by implementing highway safety improvement projects. Although the structure and main components of the Texas Department of Transportation’s (TxDOT’s) HSIP comply with relevant requirements, a review of modern safety assessment methods and tools revealed that there are several areas for improvement. As national safety assessment methods have evolved, legislation mandates that the use of safety performance methods be elevated. This research addresses how TxDOT can allocate funds in the most cost-effective manner; create a level playing field for all districts participating in the HSIP; promote district participation in the program; and minimize the amount of time and resources required to identify HSIP projects. To address these objectives, this study focused on improving and streamlining four (of six) components of the framework: a) network screening; b) diagnosis; c) countermeasure selection; and d) project prioritization. The researchers developed and applied a network screening process for roadway segments; conducted a pilot study for intersection network screening; developed and implemented a Crash Analysis and Visualization process that creates various informational products that display crash data and locations where certain types of safety countermeasures can be implemented; and developed a project prioritization spreadsheet . Among various improvements, the main benefits gained from using these tools include an increase in the number of HSIP projects identified by TxDOT district by up to 57 percent and a reduction in the time and effort required to select projects by 20-50 percent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) is a core Federal-aid, state-administered program in which each state is required to develop and establish planning, implementation, and evaluation processes. The goal of evaluation activities is to determine if highway safety improvements are achieving the desired results and the investments are worthwhile. The goal of this study is to advance HSIP evaluation processes and practices at the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and evaluate the safety and cost effectiveness of HSIP projects and countermeasures or work codes (WCs) that have been implemented in Texas over the last few years. This research involved: a) reviewing safety and cost effectiveness evaluation methods, state practices, and tools; b) gathering and compiling TxDOT data and assessing their appropriateness for supporting HSIP evaluations; c) developing safety and cost effectiveness evaluation tools for segments and intersections; and d) evaluating the effectiveness of implemented HSIP projects and countermeasures in Texas. The results show that the evaluated projects have been effective from both a safety and cost perspective in reducing target fatal, suspected serious injury, and non-incapacitating injury (KAB) crashes. The safety effectiveness index of 387 evaluated segment projects (treated as one group) was 0.84, and the corresponding index of 70 intersection projects (treated as one group) was 0.74, indicating an overall reduction in target KAB crashes after the projects were constructed. The benefit/cost ratio of all segment projects was 71.9 and that of all intersection projects (treated as one group) was 145.6.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) aims to achieve a reduction in the number and severity of fatalities and serious injury crashes on all public roads by implementing highway safety improvement projects. Transportation agencies continuously try to find ways to improve their HSIP. Over the last few years, particular emphasis has been placed on employing advanced safety predictive methods and tools. In 2016, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) funded research project 0-6912 that developed a) a network screening process for roadway segments, b) preliminary crash analysis and visualization (CAVS) products, and c) a project prioritization tool. TxDOT implementation project 5-6912-01 developed a network screening tool that incorporates the 0-6912 network screening process, and improved and implemented the CAVS process and products to support the diagnosis and countermeasure selection processes at TxDOT. The network screening tool developed in this project automatically scans all on-system mainlane roadway segments in Texas using a dynamic sliding window method and calculates seven safety performance measures for each scanned segment. The performance measures can be used to rank and determine sites with the highest crash risk for further examination. The CAVS products display crash data and locations where certain types of safety countermeasures can be implemented. Among various improvements, the main benefits realized from the implementation of the CAVS products include an increase in the number of candidate projects identified by TxDOT districts between 31 percent to 57 percent and a reduction in the time and effort required to select projects by 20-50 percent.
