| Abstract | The Safety Performance for Intersection Control Evaluation (SPICE) Tool is intended to aid in the determination of a preferred alternative for a given intersection project by providing an objective, quantifiable basis to compare the safety performance of different intersection types. This tool may be of use to traffic safety researchers and practitioners, transportation planners and engineers, and highway and street designers. This document provides information and guidance on how to use the SPICE Tool, a macro-based, Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, to assess the safety performance of a variety of intersection geometry and control scenarios in terms of predicted crash frequency and severity. |
