Description:
Highway Safety Software is a new tool added with Release 7.3 of the McTrans Highway Capacity Software (HCS7) to implement the Highway Safety Manual (HSM) procedures for urban and suburban arterials and intersections, rural two-lane roads, and rural multilane highways. Following the HSM, traffic and geometric features are coded for intersections and segments to produce safety performance functions (SPF) to be adjusted by applicable crash modification factors (CMF) for generating predicted crash rates. Intersections and segments can be combined into urban or rural facilities for individual and composite results.
