Principles of countermeasure development
• The process of countermeasure development should aim to– Determine a Range of measures likely to influence the
dominant crash types and road features– Select countermeasures based on professional
judgment and experience that can expected to reduce the number or severity of dominant crashes
From Ogden, Chapter 7

Principles of countermeasure development (continued)
– Check to see if adopted countermeasures have any undesirable consequences in
• Safety terms– e. g. lead to an increase in number or severity of another
crash type• Traffic efficiency• Environmental terms
– Be cost-effective• Maximize the benefits from HRL program
– Be efficient• Produce benefits which outweigh costs

Principles of countermeasure development (continued)
• A safe road is one that recognizes the realities and limitations of human decision making
• The management of road safety must ensure the road environment not place demands upon the driver that are beyond the driver’s ability to manage, or which are outside normal road user expectations
• What are the characteristics of a safe road?
![Page 5: 1 Development of countermeasures. 2 Principles of countermeasure development The process of countermeasure development should aim to – Determine a Range](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56649efa5503460f94c0bc92/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
5
Characteristics of a safe road
• A safe road is defined as one which is designed and managed so that it:– Warns the driver of unusual features– Informs the driver of conditions to be encountered– Guide the driver through unusual sections– Control the driver’s passage through conflict points and
road links– Forgives a driver’s inappropriate behavior
![Page 6: 1 Development of countermeasures. 2 Principles of countermeasure development The process of countermeasure development should aim to – Determine a Range](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56649efa5503460f94c0bc92/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Intersections • The main design principles for intersections are
– Minimize the number of conflict points and thus the opportunity for crashes
• T-intersections and roundabouts have fewer conflict points than 4-way intersections
– Give precedence to major movements through• Alignment• Delineation• Traffic control
– Separate conflicts in space or time
![Page 7: 1 Development of countermeasures. 2 Principles of countermeasure development The process of countermeasure development should aim to – Determine a Range](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56649efa5503460f94c0bc92/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
7
Intersections (continued)– Control the angle of conflict
• Crossing streams of traffic should intersect at a right angle or close to it
• Merging streams should intersect at small angles to ensure low relative speed
– Define and minimize conflict areas– Define vehicle paths– Ensure adequate sight distances– Control approach speed using
• Alignment• Lane width• Traffic control• Speed limits
![Page 8: 1 Development of countermeasures. 2 Principles of countermeasure development The process of countermeasure development should aim to – Determine a Range](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56649efa5503460f94c0bc92/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Intersections (continued)– Provide clear indications of right-of-way requirements– Minimize roadside hazards– Provide access to use intersection for
• Vehicular traffic– Special provisions for heavy vehicle and public transportation
vehicles
• Non-vehicular traffic– Pedestrians and other vulnerable road users
– Simplify the driving task– Minimize road user delayRoundabouts usually include to some degree allof the above principles
![Page 9: 1 Development of countermeasures. 2 Principles of countermeasure development The process of countermeasure development should aim to – Determine a Range](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56649efa5503460f94c0bc92/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Mid-block locations• The principles for design and operation of non-
intersection locations include– Consistent standards of horizontal and vertical
alignments– Develop roadway cross sections to suit road function and
traffic volumes– Delineate roadway and vehicle paths– Standards of access control from abutting land use– Ensure that roadside environment is clear or forgiving
![Page 10: 1 Development of countermeasures. 2 Principles of countermeasure development The process of countermeasure development should aim to – Determine a Range](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56649efa5503460f94c0bc92/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
Mid-block locations (continued)• Overlaying all of the above principles is a vital need to
consider particular needs of all road user groups• Careful consideration of these needs will ensure the
quality of final treatment– Pedestrians have special needs that should be separately
considered when investigating safety problems and developing countermeasures
– Special requirements of heavy vehicles• Negotiating low-radius turn• Traveling through horizontal curves with adverse super-elevation
– Other user groups needs

Countermeasure selection
• Matching solutions to problems– The key to selection of countermeasures is to
concentrate on the particular crash types which identified in diagnosis phase
– The final choice will be based upon judgment and experience
– Utilizing countermeasures which have been successful in similar situations elsewhere
![Page 12: 1 Development of countermeasures. 2 Principles of countermeasure development The process of countermeasure development should aim to – Determine a Range](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56649efa5503460f94c0bc92/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Criteria for countermeasure development
• There are number of criteria for countermeasure selection– Technical feasibility
• Can countermeasure provide an answer? • Does it have technical basis for success?
– Economic efficiency• Is countermeasure likely to be cost effective?• Will it produce benefits to outweigh its costs?
– Affordability• Can it be accommodated through program budget?• Should a cheaper solution be adopted?
![Page 13: 1 Development of countermeasures. 2 Principles of countermeasure development The process of countermeasure development should aim to – Determine a Range](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56649efa5503460f94c0bc92/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
Criteria for countermeasure development (continued)
– Acceptability • Does the countermeasure target the problem?• Will it easily understandable by community?
– Practicality• Is there likely to be a problem of non-compliance?• Can the measure work without unreasonable enforcement
effort?
– Political and institutional acceptability• Is the countermeasure likely to attract political support?• Will that be supported by the organization responsible for its
installation and on-going management?
![Page 14: 1 Development of countermeasures. 2 Principles of countermeasure development The process of countermeasure development should aim to – Determine a Range](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56649efa5503460f94c0bc92/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Criteria for countermeasure development (continued)
– Legal compatibility• Is the countermeasure a legal device?• Will users breaking any law by using it in the way intended?
– Compatibility• Is the countermeasures compatible with other strategies which
have been applied in similar situations?• It can be seen that adapting countermeasures to particular
problem is a complex process. • Development of countermeasures requires understandable
technical and institutional framework to provide the guideline principles and motivation for action

What is a CRF?
• CCrash RReduction FFactor
• Percentage crash reduction that might be expected after implementing a countermeasure– CRF of 25 means a 25% reduction in crashes
– CRF of -20 means a 20% increase in crashes

Accuracy
• Accuracy is the proximity of the estimate of the CRF to the true value
• Two types of bias affect accuracy:
1. Regression to the mean bias
2. Traffic volume bias

Precision
• Precision is the degree to which repeated estimates of the CRF are similar to each other
• Measure of precision: standard error of CRF

Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)
• Planning • Implementation • Evaluation
(3) A comparison of accident numbers, rates, and severity observed after the implementation of a highway safety improvement project with the accident numbers, rates, and severity expected if the improvement had not been made.
![Page 75: 1 Development of countermeasures. 2 Principles of countermeasure development The process of countermeasure development should aim to – Determine a Range](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56649efa5503460f94c0bc92/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)

HSIP & CRFs
• Evaluation legislation specifies the information needed to produce CRFs
• Our review of HSIPs has not found any states which tie their evaluation work with CRF generation
• Potential to link tasks currently being conducted with improving knowledge of effectiveness of countermeasures
![Page 76: 1 Development of countermeasures. 2 Principles of countermeasure development The process of countermeasure development should aim to – Determine a Range](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56649efa5503460f94c0bc92/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)

Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP)
• CRFs should be part of the process of selecting countermeasures
• Intersections as an emphasis area within a SHSP
• Task team identifies left-turn crashes at intersections as an overrepresented crash type
• What are appropriate countermeasures?
![Page 77: 1 Development of countermeasures. 2 Principles of countermeasure development The process of countermeasure development should aim to – Determine a Range](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56649efa5503460f94c0bc92/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
77
Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP)
• Review of Intersection Issue Brief for left-turn crash CRFs– Provide protected left turn phase 16(2)19
– Install left-turn lane (physical channelization) 249
– Install cameras to detect red-light running 45(6)27
• Identify intersection locations and conduct a cost-benefit analysis
![Page 78: 1 Development of countermeasures. 2 Principles of countermeasure development The process of countermeasure development should aim to – Determine a Range](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56649efa5503460f94c0bc92/html5/thumbnails/78.jpg)

Future Direction – What’s Next?
• Accident Modification Factors and Functions (rather than CRFs)
• Increase in number of studies that evaluate safety effects of countermeasures
• More stringent criteria in adoption of AMFs
• New tools
![Page 79: 1 Development of countermeasures. 2 Principles of countermeasure development The process of countermeasure development should aim to – Determine a Range](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56649efa5503460f94c0bc92/html5/thumbnails/79.jpg)
79
What is an AMF?
• Multiplier representing the expected change in crashes
– CRF of 25 equals an AMF of 0.75
– CRF of -20 equals an AMF of 1.20
• Accident Modification Factor
![Page 80: 1 Development of countermeasures. 2 Principles of countermeasure development The process of countermeasure development should aim to – Determine a Range](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56649efa5503460f94c0bc92/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
80
Accident Modification Functions
• Today, CRFs / AMFs for most countermeasures are noted as constants
• However, CRFs / AMFs are really functions of environmental variables:
– Traffic volume
– Traffic mix (trucks, pedestrians, bicyclists)
– Road geometry
– Operational conditions
![Page 81: 1 Development of countermeasures. 2 Principles of countermeasure development The process of countermeasure development should aim to – Determine a Range](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062500/56649efa5503460f94c0bc92/html5/thumbnails/81.jpg)
81
More Stringent Inclusion Criteria
• Highway Safety Manual inclusion process:
– Accuracy and precision of AMFs
– Standard error of 0.1 or less indicates AMF that is sufficiently accurate, precise, and stable
– Companion AMFs with standard errors of 0.2 - 0.3 are also included
• indicating the potential safety effects of the treatment on other facilities, or other crash types and severities
