Safety Evaluation of Access Management Policies and Techniques

CHAPTER 12. SAFETY EVALUATION TOOL AND FUNCTIONAL SPECIFICATIONS

A safety evaluation tool was developed based on the results of this research to help facilitate the safety evaluation of AM policies and techniques. To facilitate the development of such a tool, functional specifications were developed and provided in a separate document. The functional specifications provide guidance for incorporating the crash prediction models in a software package. The functional specifications identify, in a general sense, how the safety evaluation tool works and the default values for the various models and land use scenarios. Readers are encouraged to use the software to help with the computations shown in the previous chapters.
