How does the HSM apply to the Project Development Process?
System Planning
Identify needs and program projects
HSM Application - Part B
- Identify sites most likely to benefit from safety improvement
- Identify targeted crash patterns for the network
- Prioritize expenditures for efficiency
Project Planning & Preliminary Engineering
Identify alternatives and choose the preferred solution
HSM Application - Part B
- Identify targeted crash patterns for the project
- Evaluate countermeasures’ costs and effectiveness
- Compare change in crash frequency to predict safety effect of alternatives
Design and Construction
Develop design plans and build projects
HSM Application - Part C
- Evaluate how performance measures are impacted by design changes and construction
- Assess potential change in crash frequency during design exception evaluation
Operations and Maintenance
Modify existing conditions to maintain and improve safe and efficient operation
HSM Application - Part B and C
- Identify crash patterns at existing locations
- Evaluate safety effectiveness of potential countermeasures
- Modify policies and design criteria for future planning and design
