DEVELOPMENT OF ANALYTICAL AIDS FOR MINIMIZATION OF SINGLE VEHICLE ACCIDENTS, (VJ-225I-V-10)

THIS IS A SUMMARY OF THE ENTIRE RESEARCH EFFORT AND THE PRECEDING NINE TECHNICAL REPORTS, VJ-2251-V-1 THROUGH 9, WHICH DESCRIBE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE HIGHWAY-VEHICLE-OBJECT SIMULATION MODEL (HVOSM) AND SOME OF THE USES OF HVOSM TO DATE. THE USE OF HVOSM HAS MANY APPLICATIONS TO FIELD HIGHWAY DESIGN, BOTH IN THE EVALUATION AND/OR ESTABLISHMENT OF GENERAL CRITERIA AND THE OPTIMIZATION OF DESIGN CRITERIA IN SPECIFIC LOCATIONS WHICH CANNOT BE READILY REMEDIED BY STANDARD CRITERIA DUE TO SAFETY, OPERATIONAL, OR ECONOMIC CONSTRAINTS. /FHWA/
