Publication: ICCTP 2010: Integrated Transportation Systems: Green, Intelligent, Reliable

Abstract

Safety Analyst (SA) is a newly released software package that is designed to help state-wide or local agencies with a strong improvement of highway safety management on a basis of cost-effectiveness procedures. This study aims to help the potential SA users to better understand the methodologies, implementation procedures, and benefits of SA by four analytical tools. The case study was conducted at a 14.8 mile long corridor on Interstate 275 (I-275) in Tampa with the crash data in 2007. The network screening tool, diagnosis and countermeasure tool, and economical appraisal tool, are performance at the three highest-rank sites for potential safety improvements by SA. For practical purpose, this analysis could be used as an initial implementation before the widely application of the software.
