A Feasibility Study for Arizona’s Roadway Safety Management Process Using the Highway Safety Manual and SafetyAnalyst

To enable implementation of the American Association of State Highway Transportation (AASHTO) Highway Safety Manual using SafetyAnalyst (an AASHTOWare software product), the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) studied the data assessment and integration requirements. The research identified the data needs for the SafetyAnalyst software, assessed the quality of data available, addressed all “required element” data gaps, and prepared the requirements for data input and post‐processing output for presentation and interpretation. This research provides an overview of critical data needs and system requirements for ADOT’s deployment of SafetyAnalyst, identifies gaps between existing and desired conditions needed for successful software implementation, sets priorities for filling these data gaps, recommends a strategy for integrating the software into standard ADOT practices, and recommends a technology strategy to support a phased implementation.
