| Abstract | This report summarizes the Data-Driven Safety Analysis (DDSA) Applications in Performance-Based Project Development peer exchange hosted by Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Highway Safety Manual Implementation Pooled Fund, including an overview of the peer exchange, key takeaways, overview of the presentations and resulting discussion, future research opportunities, and States’ past and planned implementation efforts (State Action Plans). The peer exchange took place July 10 through July 12, 2018 at the Old Red Museum in Dallas, Texas. This meeting built on the momentum of a series of related peer exchanges in 2016, where participants strongly agreed that their State’s DDSA implementation improved as a result. The purpose of the peer exchange was to showcase States’ progress in implementing DDSA; share leading practices that use the Highway Safety Manual (HSM) for planning, design, and operations; and develop an Action Plan to guide States’ future DDSA activities once Every Day Counts, Round Four (EDC-4) concludes. During the peer exchange there were plenary sessions, concurrent breakout sessions that included presentations and facilitated discussion, safety analysis tool demonstrations, road-mapping activity to develop Action Plans, and an HSM implementation pooled fund meeting. Topics included DDSA fundamentals, safety performance in planning and programming, performance-based practical design and analysis of design exceptions, intersection control evaluation, crash modification factors, Transportation System Management and Operations strategies, safety analysis in the project development process, benefit cost analysis, design-build projects and safety treatments, network screening, and systemic safety analysis. Participants noted that the diversity and representation helped connect representatives from the same State and the comprehensive approach of the peer exchange allowed attendees to learn information in their subject area and receive recommendations for methods to implement DDSA. Participants also highlighted the benefit of attending discussions outside their area of expertise, which helps to see topics from a different viewpoint and become interested in new ideas. |
