Description:
The Local Government Safety Project (LGSP) model is a software tool designed to provide local governments with an efficient and justifiable method for assigning priority of potential projects in a local safety program. The software provides an automated method for the following activities:
- Network Screening: Provides options for prioritizing sites based on crash frequency or crash severity. Multiple reports are generated to identify the highest-priority site locations; summarize information such as the frequency, severity and cost of crashes at each location; provide specific details of roadway type, roadway condition, vehicle actions, vehicle speeds, harmful events, and external factors such as weather.
- Countermeasure Selection: Provides a means of evaluating various local jurisdiction safety projects in terms of benefits versus costs. The tool prompts the user for possible safety treatments for one or more locations, calculates the expected benefits for each project, and returns a benefit-cost analysis that follows the Hazard Elimination and Safety (HES) eligibility guidelines.
