    Uploaded by

    Akhilesh Kumar Maurya
    The document summarizes a presentation about the Highway Safety Manual (HSM) published by AASHTO. The HSM provides tools and methods to quantify the safety impact of transportation decisions. It aims to integrate safety into the project development process and establish performance measures and targets. The presentation also discusses other AASHTO safety initiatives like the "Toward Zero Deaths" program and updates to manuals on road and roadside design.

    Toward Zero Deaths

    The HSM is a tool to change
    how we consider safety
    Nominal
    Safety
    Substantive
    Safety
    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
    How to Meet The Challenge?
    Bring safety at same level as other parameters
    Integrate safety into transportation decision-
    making processes
    Quantify effect of decisions on future crash frequency
    and severity
    Increase our accountability, measure performance,
    and meet legislatively mandated priorities
    Fill the gap between state of art and state of
    practice

    Evaluate Alternatives - Evaluate
    alternatives in operations, maintenance, and
    construction
    Evaluate design-build
    proposals - Using value-based
    evaluation that includes safety
    Countermeasure Selection &
    B/C - Site diagnosis, countermeasure
    selection, economic analysis
    Compare safety
    impact vs other
    impacts (e.g.
    environmental)
    Network Screening
    Based on policy focus (e.g. SHSP,
    systematic approaches, risk-
    based (proactive) approaches,
    and reactive approaches; some
    as a result of STIP, TIP, route
    development process and
    corridor planning

    Goal of HSM Implementation
    Move forward
    Integration of safety in the day to day activities
    Support States Performance Goals
    Institutionalize safety culture
    HSM becomes a tool routinely used by
    transportation/road professionals
    Safety is another quantified parameter always

    based publication with bonus
    material and interactive features

    Edition recently released
    Provides detailed information on
    treatments that can minimize the
    likelihood of serious injuries when
    a motorist leaves the roadway,
    including clear zones, barriers,
    crash cushions
    Also available for as a web-based
    publication with additional features



    Lane Departure Crashes
    Addresses the problem
    systematically
    Nearly 4 out of every 10 fatal
    crashes involve a single
    vehicle leaving its lane and/or
    the roadway
    More than twice as many on
    rural roads than on urban
    roads
    WHAT Is TZD?
    The National Highway Safety Strategy
    Uses the 1997 AASHTO strategic plan as
    a base. Target for release: May 2012
    Broadens the outreach
    More inclusive in ownership
    Longer time horizon at least 25 years
    Safety culture strategies included
    Technology will play a key role
    Highway Deaths: Where Are We?
    How Will We Drastically Reduce
    Fatalities?
    Safer drivers/passengers and pedestrians
    and bicyclists
    Safer vehicles
    Safer roadways
    Better/more emergency medical services
    Vehicle Countermeasures
    Vehicle-to-Vehicle and Vehicle-to-
    Infrastructure communication
    Electronic stability control
    Other safety features:
    Lane departure warnings
    Adaptive headlights
    Forward collision warning
    Brake assist

    Lessons Learned: Worldwide
    Applications

    Leadership and a shared vision at top levels
    Driving is a privilege rather than a right
    Partnerships among health, development,
    transportation, and public safety communities
    Shared accountability and responsibility
    Tough laws on vehicles and drivers must exist and
    be enforced
    We can learn from each otherdeveloping as well
    as developed countries as developed nations
