NCHRP 17 - 50 Lead State Initiative for Implementing
the Highway Safety Manual
PEER EXCHANGE 2Kim Kolody, P.E.CH2M HILL
NCHRP 17-50• Advance the wide-spread and accurate use
of the Highway Safety Manual– 2 National Peer Exchanges• August 2011 (Irvine CA)• August 2012 (Baltimore MD)
– HSM User Guide
With the ultimate goal of FULL institutionalization
Goal of HSM Implementation• Move forward – Integration of safety in the day to day activities– Support State’s Performance Goals
• Institutionalize safety culture– HSM becomes a tool routinely used by
transportation/road professionals– Safety is another quantified parameter

NCHRP 17-50 HSM PX 1Focus on safety analysis toolsWith TRB Safety Performance
NCHRP 17-50 HSM PX 2Focus on Calibration, Data, Case Studies
Included Support States
National Efforts• FHWA – Training– HSM Implementation Guide for Managers– Integration Guide– HSM Case Studies
• AASHTO– HSM Implementation Pooled Fund– Website upgrades
• NCHRP– Calibration Guide– NCHRP 17-45, 17-54
Use of the HSM• How is the HSM being applied and how is it being used
incorrectly• Barriers to implementation
– Lack of Data– Lack of financial and staff resources– Getting staff to see the benefits in the use of the HSM– Determining primary user of the HSM– Making the HSM simple and easy to use– Providing competent and well informed staff– Keeping momentum in times of change
• Utah - Capacity Building
Optimizing use of the HSM• Calibration Session– Overview of
• 1) what calibration and SPF developing mean and how they differ;
• 2) SPF in the context of SafetyAnalyst (Pt B) and IHSDM (Pt C)– NCHRP 20-7 (332) – User’s Guide: Calibration of HSM
SPFs– State-of-Practice Survey, Lessons Learned
• Data Collection and Integration– Illinois, Virginia, Louisiana, Ohio
HSM in Projects• Florida – Case Study Pilot Projects• Missouri – State wide speed limit setting policy• Louisiana – Use of IHSDM on large projects• Alabama – Design Exceptions• Michigan – Use of HSM in RSAs• California – Safety Analysis throughout the process• Washington – Use of HSM with Tribal Projects
Advancing Capability
• IHSDM Calibration Tool
• ISATe, Freeways and Interchanges Case Studies– Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania
Where do we go from here?• MAP – 21 supports performance based
approaches• HSM in the project evaluation and alternatives
selection• HSM in the environmental process• HSM State Specific SPFs• Continue with training!• Continue to bring in more partners
