Improved Safety Information for Highway Design

This digest of NCHRP Project 17-12, "Improved Safety Information for Highway Design," provides details and concepts for improved safety information systems that will be of interest to highway designers, safety professionals, and information managers. The project identified the critical safety information needed to support project- and policy- level decision making in highway design and to develop the fundamental architecture for systems to acquire, store, access, and use safety information in highway design.
