WHAT THE HSM IS NOT
• The HSM does not set requirements or mandates• The HSM is not a best practice document for design or
operations.• The HSM contains no warrants or standards
and does not supersede other publications that do.

The HSM does not establish a legal
standard of care nor does it create a duty
to the public.

Is This Road “Safe” or “Unsafe”?
What does safety really mean?

severity for a highway or roadway

Definition of HSM Terms
• Safety Performance Function (SPF) – a regression equation used for estimating the predicted crash frequency at a site for a given “base condition”
• Accident Modification Factor (AMF) – used to adjust the “base condition” in the SPF to specific site characteristics
• Calibration Factor (C) – adjusts average crash frequencies calculated from the SPF to local site conditions
![Page 27: HSM Use and Training](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061513/5681406c550346895dabea48/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Predicting Crashes – Defining Roadway Segments and
Intersections
![Page 28: HSM Use and Training](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061513/5681406c550346895dabea48/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
HSM Regional SPF Calibration
Step 5 – Compute calibration factors for use in Part C predictive model
Step 1 – Identify facility types of interest
Step 2 – Select sites for calibration of each facility type
Step 3 – Obtain data for each facility type applicable to the calibration period
Step 4 – Apply the appropriate Part C predictive model to estimate expected crash frequency for each site during the calibration period
