| Summary: | "Researchers calibrated detailed safety prediction models to account for the effects of key curve characteristics, including geometry, pavement variables (particularly skid resistance), and weather patterns. Additionally, researchers developed estimates of the service life for various surface treatments that may be used to increase skid resistance. By combining safety prediction models, weather data, and service life data, researchers created guidelines and a life-cycle benefit-cost evaluation framework to assist practitioners in choosing effective safety treatments for curves. This document describes the guidelines and spreadsheet -based evaluation framework and provides analysts with a User Guide for the framework." |
