SAFER ROADS THROUGH BETTER DESIGN: IHSDM WEB PAGES OFFER GLIMPSE OF 21ST CENTURY SAFETY SOFTWARE

Newly launched World Wide Web pages for the Interactive Highway Safety Design Model (IHSDM) offer a comprehensive view of new software that should ultimately ensure better designed and safer roads. Targeted specifically to roadway planners and designers and others in the transportation engineering community, the IHSDM Web site provides visitors with a complete description of IHSDM as developing safety software that will provide never-before-available and easy-to-access data to facilitate evaluation of the safety implications of design alternatives. The site features pages dedicated to each of the seven IHSDM modules: crash prediction, design consistency, driver/vehicle performance, intersection diagnostic review, policy review, roadside safety, and traffic analysis.
