摘要

Horizontal curves are relatively risky portions of the highway system in the US and elsewhere.Fortunately, curves are also places where highway agencies have many options and opportunities formaking safety improvements. The publication of the Highway Safety Manual (HSM) offers agencies atool to evaluate the safety of a horizontal curve for safety with fewer field visits.This paper evaluates the HSM crash prediction model using data on two-lane rural horizontal curves inNorth Carolina. The objectives of this paper include providing highway agencies with practical advice onhow they can validate and apply the HSM to the analysis of horizontal curves.An analysis of the local conditions calibration factor for the HSM predictive model in North Carolinafound that a large number of sites (approximately 300) are required to meet HSM recommendations. Thelarge number of sites is partly due to the finding that random segments provided a more accurate outcomethan a subset of high crash locations. The primary purpose of this study was to analyze the differences inpredicted collisions based on field data collection versus using average or default values. Furthermore,these study results can provide highway agencies with practical guidance on how they can apply the newHSM methods to the analysis of horizontal curves for their own local or state conditions. The resultsshowed that annual average daily traffic, curve radius, and curve length were the most important factorsin determining prediction accuracy but that average or default values may be used for other parameterswith less risk to accuracy.
